2026 Project Intern

Hanson Professional Services•Springfield, IL

5d•$21 - $40

About The Position

Hanson Professional Services Inc. is a dynamic, employee-owned engineering consulting firm of more than 500 employees providing a full range of multi-disciplined engineering, scientific, and allied services throughout the USA. We are proud to be a great place to work and a top company for internships! Are you an early-year student in an engineering program and/or interested in broad-based civil engineering learning opportunities, and looking to acquire some challenging and productive work experiences? Are you looking to test the waters of what work life and culture is like to be a civil engineering consultant? Hanson’s Civil Engineering Student Internship may be a perfect fit. We are seeking exceptional student candidates for our 2026 Internship Program So, what’s the difference between a Civil Engineering Student Intern and the others shown that are discipline-specific? Great question. Our discipline-specific interns are typically further into their education, support a variety of project management and technical staff across each of the company’s markets, and report day-to-day to the respective subject matter expert/discipline manager. Our Civil Engineering Student Interns will typically support only one or two, market-specific, experienced professional staff in performance of assignments, spend time shadowing actual operations, and have unique assignments that support larger projects as well as observe the routine and expectations of an engineering project manager, and report day-to-day to that same project manager. The Civil Engineering Student Intern may perform and/or participate in additional activities/events which help them build a strong network within the Hanson community and with fellow discipline-specific interns, with the intent of establishing the work experience, technical and administrative exposure, and relationships that will better qualify them for technical, discipline-specific internships in the future.
