Intern with us
As an intern, you will learn practical on-the-job experience. A Civil Engineering Intern will spend most of their time working with construction phase activities. Duties may include assisting with construction observation, performing construction staking, performing construction administration duties such as documenting activities, measuring and testing, providing general oversight, and interacting with contractors, sub-contractors, residents, and city staff. Some interns may assist with general office duties, surveying, quantity calculations, estimates, plan specs, and project design.
Where would I work?
We have projects going on all over the Upper Midwest and Southeast regions. The positions are based out of a designated office location but, most of the time, you report directly to a project site if you are a civil engineering or survey intern.
What are my hours?
In the summer, it is not unusual to work 10+ hour days at the peak of the construction season. Much of the work is outside, so you will be subject to varying weather conditions.
What would I earn?
Student interns are paid an hourly rate plus time and a half above 40 hours in a week. Most interns will earn $14.00-$18.00 per hour depending on experience.
I’m interested.
Now what?
Don’t wait! Interested students must apply via our website. Resumes dropped off, mailed, emailed, or faxed will not be accepted.

Interns typically work May-August, but may continue throughout the school year on a part-time basis.
