Job description

Hanson ValuesIntegrity | Commitment | Quality | Relationships | InnovationIf you’re looking for a firm that encourages innovative thinking and challenges you every day, with an opportunity to learn and advance, a career at Hanson is right for you. The belief in sustainability within our company’s practices creates a focus on client success and partnerships that are important to our communities and our environment.Are you an early-year student in an engineering program and/or interested in broad-based civil engineering learning opportunities, and looking to gain challenging, productive work experience? Are you looking to test the waters of what work life and culture are like as a civil engineering consultant? Hanson’s Project Internship may be a perfect fit.So, what’s the difference between a project internship and the other discipline-specific internships? Great question. Our discipline-specific interns are typically further into their education, support a variety of project management and technical staff across each of the company’s markets, and report day-to-day to the respective subject matter expert/discipline manager. Our project interns typically support one or two market-specific, experienced professional staff in completing assignments, spend time shadowing actual operations, and take on unique assignments that support larger projects; they also observe the routine and expectations of an engineering project manager and report day-to-day to that same project manager. A project intern may perform and/or participate in additional activities/events which help them build a strong network within the Hanson community and with fellow discipline-specific interns, with the intent of establishing the work experience, technical and administrative exposure, and relationships that will better qualify them for technical, discipline-specific internships in the future.Qualifications:Candidate must be actively enrolled in an ABET-accredited, 4-year college or university civil, environmental, agricultural, or ecological engineering program, or a comparable pre-engineering or Pathways-style program.
