Environmental Intern - Central District (Summer 2027)

Kiewit • Conway Springs, CO

4d • $20 - $24 • Onsite

About The Position

We know you're not just looking for an internship. You want an adventure — to do something that makes a real impact on the world around you. As an Environmental Intern, you'll support the Environmental Team with regulatory research, participating in field exercises at projects, developing environmental articles, preparing and presenting training, and conducting vendor reviews. As you continue pursuing your degree during the school year, we'll support you by offering real world experience at one of North America's largest and most respected construction and engineering organizations. Kiewit’s Central District is one of our largest infrastructure districts specializing in heavy civil, structural concrete/bridge, water/wastewater, and transportation projects. We self-perform work such as mass grading, drainage, paving, utility and more - so be ready to get your hands dirty! While headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the majority of our work is concentrated in the Rockies, Midwest, and South-Central regions of the United States. We are looking for people committed to the construction industry rather than design.
