About The Position

ENGEO 360° is a comprehensive summer internship designed for talented university students to explore professional engineering consulting careers within a dynamic and empowering environment. We give our interns real responsibilities that impact projects and add value to our work. Our interns gain experience in the office, laboratory, and field environments. While the focus will be primarily Geotechnical Engineering, our interns receive a perspective of geoenvironmental, hydrologic, and geologic engineering too. The internship aims to provide a meaningful learning experience for talented students, allow them to perform engineering tasks to support ENGEO’s broad portfolio of projects, build lasting connections with many talented mentors, and join events to experience what makes ENGEO unique and a certified Great Place to Work. You will primarily split your time between office and field work, but you will also spend up to one week in one of our soil labs! You will be supported by a Servant Leader, a Go-To buddy, technical leaders, project managers, and others to help you have a successful internship.
