At Salas O'Brien, we believe in engineering for impact. This drive for making a difference influences not only our projects but also our team culture. We're committed to living our values, inspiring, achieving, and connecting as shared owners of our success, while staying focused on a sustainable future.

Founded in 1975, Salas O'Brien is an employee-owned engineering and professional services firm dedicated to making a difference for our clients, team members, and the world. We recognize that today’s challenges present tomorrow’s opportunities, and we’re here to design lasting solutions.

We offer integrated engineering and consulting services across industries such as data centers, healthcare, science and technology, high‑rise buildings, clean energy, education, and more. Our expertise includes structural and building sciences, infrastructure asset management, advanced robotics, and beyond.

Joining our team as an intern provides a unique chance to gain hands‑on experience, build your skills, and contribute to impactful projects. We foster a supportive and enriching environment where interns can grow and learn from industry leaders. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding opportunity, we encourage you to apply and be part of our dynamic team.

To qualify, candidates must be currently enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s degree program in electrical, mechanical, civil, architectural, audio engineering, or a business‑related field such as HR, marketing, finance, or IT. A genuine passion for the AEC industry and a desire to contribute to meaningful work is essential. Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team are also important. Experience with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or Revit) and familiarity with engineering analysis tools are helpful. Flexibility in adapting to changing priorities and working onsite or at project locations may be required. Previous internship or co‑op experience in the AEC industry is a plus but not mandatory.
