Civil Engineering Intern

Part-time

Thompson & Litton Inc

Bridge the Gap Between Classroom and Career  

Are you a Civil Engineering student ready to move beyond the textbook? Join Thompson & Litton in our Radford office for a hands-on internship that puts you at the center of land development and infrastructure design. This isn't just a role for 'assisting'—it's an opportunity to learn the intricacies of site development, stormwater management, and utility design while working directly alongside licensed Professional Engineers (PEs).

The Role: What You'll Do

As a Civil Engineer Intern, you will be an integral part of our design team, supporting both public and private sector projects that shape the Southwest Virginia landscape. You will:

  • Design & Draft: Support the development of conceptual site layouts and construction drawings using AutoCAD Civil 3D .
  • Solve Problems: Assist with grading design, earthwork analyses, and complex stormwater management systems.
  • Navigate Regulations: Research municipal zoning and development ordinances to ensure project compliance.
  • Get in the Field: Participate in site visits and field investigations to see how plans translate to reality.
  • Build the Foundation: Help prepare engineering reports, technical specifications, and project proposals.

What You'll Bring

  • Current Pursuit: You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Science program for Civil Engineering .
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal skills to help translate technical data into clear reports.
  • Tech Savvy: Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word and Excel).

Preferred Skills (The 'Nice-to-Haves')

  • Experience or interest in AutoCAD or Civil 3D .
  • Coursework emphasis in land development, water resources, or transportation.
  • A detail-oriented mindset and a desire to work in a collaborative, team-centric environment.

Why Thompson & Litton?

We are a multi-disciplined firm dedicated to serving our clients and our communities. As an intern, you'll receive mentorship from experienced project managers and gain the practical experience necessary to jumpstart your career in civil engineering. If you fit this role, we want to hear from you!
