Job description

At UES, we’re a team of more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, geologists, inspectors, technicians, and drillers united by a shared purpose—to make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. As a national leader in geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and materials testing and inspection, we collaborate on transformative projects across transportation, energy, water, healthcare, and more. Learn more about the benefits of joining Team UES and our core values at careers.teamues.com.

Position Overview

This isn’t a “fetch coffee and make copies” internship—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in real-world marketing for a growing engineering firm. As you may know, marketing looks different in the A/E/C (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry, which is why we’ve built a structured, module-based curriculum. You’ll gain exposure to both technical service lines and creative strategy, learning how to craft marketing pieces that highlight engineering solutions and help grow our business. You’ll also get the chance to meet and collaborate with other interns and team members across the company.

Don’t know what geotechnical engineering is? There’s a module for that. Curious about how a drill rig works or what happens on an active construction site? There’s a module for that. Unsure what RFQ or RFP means? We’ll cover that too. By summer’s end, you’ll understand both the “what” and the “why” behind A/E/C marketing—and have tangible work samples to prove it.

Responsibilities

• Assist with the research, writing, editing, and production of RFQs, RFPs, and other client-focused pursuits.
• Create polished project cut sheets and professional résumés for UES offices.
• Take and curate project photography to showcase our work.
• Support pursuit organization, filing, and other administrative tasks that keep the marketing team running smoothly.
• Learn and utilize tools like Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop.
• Create collateral and provide social media support.
• Gain insight into the link between engineering expertise and business growth through exposure to technical service lines and client-facing deliverables.

Capstone Project:

At the end of the summer, you’ll complete a specialized capstone project—such as developing a marketing campaign concept, creating a portfolio of cut sheets, or producing a case study on a completed pursuit. You’ll present your work to department leadership, giving you a résumé-ready deliverable that highlights your marketing skills in a technical industry.

Qualifications

• Rising sophomore or junior majoring in Marketing, Communications, Technical Writing, Photography, English, Advertising, Journalism, or related field.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with Adobe Creative Cloud is a plus.
• Ability to utilize a CRM system.
• Strong teamwork skills, positive attitude, and eagerness to learn.
• Ability to problem-solve and contribute fresh ideas to a growing team.
• Must live near or be able to relocate to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (relocation expenses not provided).

Where This Can Take You:

By completing this internship, you’ll gain marketing experience in a specialized technical industry, a capstone project for your portfolio, and exposure to how business development and marketing drive growth in A/E/C. Whether your next step is content creation, communications, or proposal management, you’ll have practical skills and work samples to back it up.

Duration:

• Temporary internship, [insert duration: e.g., 10–12 weeks], with potential flexibility based on academic schedule.

Travel Requirements

• This position does not require travel.

Physical Demands & Work Environment

• This position primarily operates in a professional office environment, requiring the ability to work at a desk for extended periods while using a computer, phone, and standard office equipment.
• The position involves sitting for extended periods, performing data entry, and engaging in frequent communication via email, phone, and in-person interactions.
• The role involves regular communication with team members, clients, and stakeholders, both in person and through virtual platforms.
• The physical demands of the job may include occasional standing, walking, bending, and lifting of office materials up to 15 pounds.
