Construction Engineering Intern - Summer 2027
About The Position
This internship offers a hands-on experience in construction engineering, allowing students to witness transportation projects come to life. Interns will work alongside experienced engineers, learn how plans translate into real-world construction, and understand the collaboration between engineers, contractors, and clients. The role emphasizes learning by doing, with interns being an active part of the team rather than passive observers. HR Green, with over 110 years of experience in infrastructure design and construction, provides a supportive environment for interns to learn, grow, and explore different areas of civil engineering.

- Available to work full time during the Summer 2027 internship program, beginning between mid May and early June and ending in early August.
- Possess a valid driver’s license.
- Able to operate a company vehicle, as travel to project sites is part of the internship.
- Able to work in both office and field environments based on project needs.
