$18 - $30 per hour

Sargent & Lundy

Description This position has a target start date in summer 2027. As a Civil Engineer Intern, you will be assigned to work with civil project engineers and assist them in the execution of project work. These projects typically involve the site related design of wind and solar renewable energy projects, nuclear or fossil fuel power plants, electrical substations, or other heavy industrial facilities. Working under the direction of experienced civil engineers and with multi-disciplined project teams, this position will offer you the opportunity to utilize and expand your academic background in Civil Engineering in one or more of the following areas: Assist in the preparation of engineering calculations, technical specifications, and engineering reports. Assist in evaluating mass earthwork cut and fill quantities and site grading layouts. Assist in preparing layouts for stormwater and sanitary drainage systems. Assist in layout of plant roadways and trackwork systems. Assist in developing pond and landfill system designs relating to raw water, wastewater, and coal ash management. Work with civil project designers to accurately portray designs in project 3-D models and on design drawings. Relocation assistance is not provided for this position. Qualifications We do not sponsor employees for work authorization in the U.S. for this position. Essential skills and experience: Must have an expected graduation date in Winter 2027 or Spring 2028 toward a BS or MS in Civil Engineering. Solid understanding of basic civil and geotechnical engineering concepts. Good verbal and written communication skills. Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail.

Knowledge of any of the following software programs: Civil 3D, StormCAD, PondPack, MicroStation, and AutoCAD. AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to solve problems using modern tools: You are expected to take engineering problems from issue to solution using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs. Many engineers in these roles build or use automation to create calculations, summarize technical documents, or draft design documentation, including appropriate use of agentic AI tools, with strong engineering judgment and verification of results. Programming or scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate calculations, design checks, reporting, or data transformation is valued but not required. We also value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other training in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that helps you apply automation or agentic AI to real engineering problems. Award-Winning Benefits At Sargent & Lundy, we care about the health and well-being of our employees. Our commitment extends beyond the workplace, offering comprehensive healthcare plans and generous paid time off to support our team members in every aspect of their lives.
