Civil Engineering Intern - 2026

Kpff Consulting Engineers • Portland, OR

105d • $25 • Remote

About The Position

We're looking for awesome students to join our 2026 Summer Internship Program in Portland, OR! Our internships run May-August or June-September (we'll work with your school schedule). This is your chance to jump in, get hands-on, and see what it's really like to work as part of a civil engineering team. From day one, you'll be using Civil 3D with support from our PE's, EIT's, and Civil Designers who are excited to help you learn the ropes. You'll get to design, create plans, do research, and head out on site visits—no coffee runs here. Along the way, you'll also take part in our Intern Training Program, attend KPFF-U learning sessions, and join vendor lunch-and-learns (yes, free food + learning!). Our office operates on a hybrid schedule—you'll be in the office 3 days per week (after onboarding), with the option to work remotely up to 2 days. Prefer to be in the office every day? That works too!
