Summer Intern, Contracts Administration & Materials Managements (CAMM)

The Contracts Administration and Materials Management (CAMM) department supports numerous projects including those that are large, complex, and visible. The department has the responsibility for ensuring that each consultant/contractor provides the required insurance coverage needed for the project at the time of contract execution and maintains them for the life of the contract. These insurance requirements must be renewed and/or revised as needed, should the scope of work be amended, or extended, to ensure that the contractor/consultant and the Authority are properly covered during the term of contract.

Under direct supervision, Summer Interns participate in a ten-week professional development program designed to provide hands-on, entry-level experience aligned with the student’s major field of study and the sponsoring department’s business operations. Interns gain real-world exposure to OCTA operations and the transportation industry while contributing to meaningful projects and learning from experienced professionals.
