  • Assists with preparation of project documentation and schedules and performs design calculations within a limited scope.
  • Coordinates with experienced engineers and designers on non-routine techniques and procedures.
  • Gathers research, recommends solutions, and creates drafts of technical reports using prescribed methods.
  • Mentors student interns by providing opportunities for developing basic technical skills and knowledge.
  • Gains experience with creating and maintaining project and client information within the firm's project management system.

Qualifications

You are passionate about:

  • Using your talents to positively affect communities.

You bring to the team:

  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to contribute and work well on a team
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering
  • Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience
  • Must obtain Engineer Intern (EI) certificate
  • Knowledge of Civil 3D

Additional Information

Olsson specializes in engineering and design, client advisory services, planning, field services, and environmental. Improving the world has been our mindset from the very beginning, back when Olsson first opened for business in 1956. And it will be our mindset for years to come.

As an Olsson employee, you will:

  • Receive a competitive 401(k) match
  • Be empowered to build your career with tailored development paths
  • Have the possibility for flexible work arrangements
  • Engage in work that has a positive impact on communities
  • Participate in a wellness program promoting balanced lifestyles
