$20 - $35 per hour

Thornton Tomasetti

Thornton Tomasetti

applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges. An independent organization of creative thinkers and innovative doers collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our clients' ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for a better, more resilient future. We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career. Our

Forensic

practice investigates problems in the built environment and provides evidence-based solutions founded on rigorous science and physics. We assist attorneys, property managers, building owners, contractors, manufacturers, and design professionals with a wide range of engineering and architectural issues.

Your Role As a Structural Engineer Intern in our Forensics Practice, you will gain hands-on experience investigating structural failures, damage, and performance issues across buildings, infrastructure, and specialty structures. You will collaborate with talented professionals across disciplines in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, gaining meaningful exposure to innovative design and engineering solutions.

What You’ll Do Assist in field investigations, documenting conditions, and collecting data for analysis. Support structural evaluations using engineering tools and forensic methodologies. Help prepare technical reports and exhibits for clients and legal proceedings. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop practical solutions for repair or mitigation.

What You’ll Bring Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in civil, structural, or architectural engineering. Strong academic record and demonstrated interest in structural design and forensic problem-solving. Experience with Revit, AutoCAD, or analysis software is a plus but not required.

Compensation The rate for this position generally is $20 - $35 hourly. This range is a good faith estimate provided pursuant to the California Pay Transparency Law. It is based on what a successful California applicant might be paid and assumes that the successful candidate will be in California or perform the position from California. Similar positions located outside of California will not necessarily receive the same compensation. Actual pay rates may vary from the range, as permitted by California Equal Pay Transparency Law. Compensation offers will be based on various factors, including operational needs, individual education, qualifications and experience, work location and comparison to employee already in the role, as well as other considerations permitted by law. A potential new employee’s pay history will not be used in compensation decisions.

Benefits Depending on your employment status, benefits may include: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, AD&D, Disability and other voluntary benefits
