Job description

If you are an undergraduate pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a strong interest in transportation, and more specifically within the aviation sector, then we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team this upcoming summer in Bloomington, Minnesota!
As a member of our team, you will work alongside civil engineers, planners, and technicians and become engaged in a variety of active projects for small general aviation airports, large international hub airports, and military bases, which include the rehabilitation and construction of runways, taxiways, aprons, utilities, roadways, NAVAIDS, fueling facilities, and security enhancements. Our goal will be to expose you to the various stages of a project life cycle from conception through construction so you have a better understanding of the work we do, how we do it, and more importantly, what it would be like to be an engineering consultant.
Throughout your internship, you will have the opportunity to prepare detailed drawings using Civil 3D and AutoCAD, perform calculations for project dimensions and elevations, and compute and tabulate quantities. You will also have the opportunity to assist with preliminary site assessments and conduct construction administration tasks including inspections and observations.
The ideal candidate would be available to work 40 hours per week with occasional overtime throughout the summer of 2027 from Tuesday, May 25 through Friday, August 13. This position would primarily work from our office or an assigned project site; however, there may be instances in which this position would be provided with flexible / hybrid work arrangements.
