Internship Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Our staff hosts a cohort of interns every summer at all three of our offices. Most of our candidates are students we connect with at career fairs. You can find a list of the fairs we typically attend during the Fall and Spring semesters below. We often select our summer interns after we attend the Spring fairs (after March).

We pride ourselves on offering a flexible program that suits our preferred candidates experiential learning needs. Each summer we evaluate our staffing, workload and capacity to determine what level of engagement we are equipped to entertain. Whether our internships are full-time or part-time are dependent on these fluctuating factors. We also are open to hosting a multi-discipline intern, giving students a chance to engage with both our civil and structural departments.

EV typically offers internships to juniors and seniors, but would consider underclassmen.
