We are Olsson. We engineer and design solutions that improve the world around us. As a company, we promise to always be responsive, transparent, and focused on results – for our people, our clients, and our company.

We're a people-centric firm, so it's no surprise our greatest asset is our people. The impact this creates is an environment that encourages our people to grow and be creative with their talents.

Job Description

Recognized by Vault as a Top 10 Engineering Internship Program, Olsson provides interns with meaningful, real-world work experience that will transform your classroom experience and help you envision your future career.  Olsson provides multidisciplinary design services for some of the largest and most forward-thinking and desirable companies in the world to work for. The large hyperscale data center campuses we design throughout the U.S. will give you the opportunity to work on some of the largest and most complex engineering-driven projects being built today. Our clients are relationship-based and truly value the work we do for them, affording us the opportunity to contribute to society's technological and connected community through the design of the critical infrastructure that is the foundation of these projects. As a summer 2027 civil engineering student intern on the Data Centers Site Design team, you will be part of our team, working for our clients on projects with our experienced engineers. You'll assist with creating construction plans for sites that can include site layout, grading, stormwater, and utilities in AutoCAD and Civil 3D. You may also perform research, write technical reports, and travel to job sites.

Qualifications

You are passionate about:

  • Working collaboratively with others.
  • Having ownership in the work you do.
  • Using your talents to positively affect communities.

You bring to the team:

  • Strong communication skills
  • Ability to contribute and work well on a team 
  • Pursuing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD (Civil 3D is a plus)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook
  • Problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Strong attention to detail
