We are proud to be a great place to work and a top company for internships! Are you a college student in a quality management, industrial process, business process or general engineering program and/or interested in quality management 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 part of a quality management team? Hanson’s Quality Program 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 Quality Program Student Intern and the other degree programs that are discipline-specific? Great question. Our discipline-specific interns typically focus on that discipline and work primarily with experienced engineers and technicians assigned to that discipline. Our Quality Program Student Interns will typically work under the direction of our Corporate Quality Assurance Officer (CQAO) in support of our Corporate Quality Assurance Program. (CQAP) The CQAP interacts daily with internal Hanson personnel assigned to markets and practices as well as with external entities to support the quality delivery of our professional services. Quality Program Student Intern duties will include working with other CQAP personnel to review and update quality procedures and documents, review, prepare and update quality training programs, and participate in quality audits and surveillance of project and discipline activities. The Quality Program 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 Hanson interns, with the intent of establishing the work experience, technical and administrative exposure, and relationships that will enhance the CQAP.
