Civil Engineer Intern

BHC•Overland Park, KS

About The Position

At BHC, our interns have the unique opportunity to rotate through our five market segments, exploring the various areas of civil engineering. Our program is designed for students interested in exploring the field of engineering. Unlike a typical internship program at BHC our focus is on your education and exposure to civil engineering. Over the course of this 10-week, full-time summer internship, interns rotate through our five core engineering groups—Development, Public Works, Construction Services, Telecom, and Survey to gain a well-rounded understanding of our practice and to apply the concepts you have learned in the classroom. During each rotation, interns will be put through our design process and support real projects. As a member of our project teams, you will work hands-on alongside licensed engineers, support active projects, and gain exposure to the full lifecycle of civil engineering design and delivery. You will be assigned a personal mentor to help support your development and guide you through projects. Our interns also take part in our AEC Intern Rotation Program. Interns will rotate with other firms and their interns in the KC Metro to gain an understanding of how companies work together to complete projects from start to finish. Position starts work in late May to August 2026, specific dates to be determined, 40 hours per week.
