Shive Hattery Group, Inc.

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

Let’s Do Great Things—Together

At Shive-Hattery, we believe great design starts with great people. We’re a full-service architecture and engineering firm with a legacy of collaboration, innovation, and putting people first—our clients and each other. If you’re looking for a place where your ideas matter and your growth is supported, you’ll feel at home here.

Why This Role Matters

As a Traffic/Transportation Engineering Intern you will work on a variety of project types including Roadway and Intersection Design, Trails and Pedestrian Facilities, and Public Utility Projects. Additional opportunities for civil engineering projects focused on water resources, site design, and more will be available to interested candidates as our team believes a well-rounded internship provides the best internship experience for those who are still unsure what their preferred practice area might be. These experiences will provide insights into the profession, collaborative teamwork, and serving the needs of our clients.

What You’ll Do

  • Assist with roadway and intersection design projects
  • Support trail and pedestrian facility design projects
  • Assist with public utility projects
  • Gain experience with water resources and site design projects
  • Collaborate with civil engineering teams on a variety of project types
  • Work as part of a team to serve client needs and project goals
  • Gain exposure to different areas of civil/transportation engineering to develop a well-rounded experience
Requirements:

You don’t need to check every box to succeed here. If your experience aligns with many of the items below and you’re excited about the work we do, we encourage you to apply.

  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to learn new concepts, processes, and technologies.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality work.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and responsibilities in a professional environment.
  • Willingness to seek feedback and apply it to your work and professional development.
  • Ability to build positive and professional relationships with teammates, mentors, and clients.

What Will Make You Stand Out

  • Previous internship, project, or studio experience
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating creativity, design thinking, and technical skills

Who We Are

Shive-Hattery is a privately held architecture and engineering consulting firm with design offices across the United States. Here, you’ll work alongside multidisciplinary teams delivering integrated design solutions for clients across industries. You’ll contribute to meaningful projects guided by our principle to design what matters and make our world a better place. You’re looking to build something great. So are we.

Shive-Hattery is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected status.

This position is primarily performed in an office or hybrid environment and may require travel to project sites or other Shive-Hattery office locations. The role involves sitting, standing, and working at a computer for extended periods. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this role.

U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements:

We are unable to provide visa sponsorship now or in the future. Candidates must have current and ongoing authorization to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.

If this role sounds like a fit for your skills and interests, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help us design what matters to make the world a better place. Interested applicants should submit their resume and portfolio for consideration.

Notice to Recruiters and Staffing Agencies:

To protect the interests of all parties, Shive-Hattery and its partners will not accept unsolicited candidate submissions from a recruiter or staffing agency who is not operating under an executed recruiting or staffing services contract with Shive-Hattery. Please do not contact our employees directly in that regard or otherwise submit unsolicited candidate information in any form.
