Meet Elijah, a Help Desk Intern at Cianbro and a Computer Engineering sophomore at the University of Maine.
Elijah thrives on solving problems. It’ what drew him to the IT field and continues to fuel his internship experience. Each day on the IT Help Desk brings new challenges, and he enjoys digging into every ticket as a unique puzzle to solve.
“Each ticket comes with its own puzzle and challenge that makes me want to figure out how to solve it,” said Elijah.
During his time with Cianbro, Elijah has strengthened his critical thinking skills while gaining exposure to new software and a variety of IT processes. He has also experienced Cianbro’s strong family-oriented culture firsthand where a focus on safety, collaboration, and looking out for one another creates an environment that supports personal and professional growth.
One standout experience? Supporting the Rickers Wharf remodel project. Rickers Wharf is Cianbro’s operational base in Portland, Maine. We just completed new office spaces where Elijah helped set others up for technical success in their new environment.
When he’s not solving IT challenges, Elijah is a talented musician playing 20+ instruments. He also enjoys roller skating, a hobby he’s pursued for over a decade.
His advice to future interns: “Say yes to everything.”
We’re proud to have Elijah on the team and excited to see how his passion for problem-solving shapes his future in engineering.
