Job description

Site Engineer Technician Internship

The Opportunity:

To create, maintain and restore a wide variety of port and coastal assets – harbors, waterways, rivers, wetlands, beaches, and storm-eroded shores – we use our sizeable fleet of specialized dredging equipment to excavate and transport the full range of underwater soils, including silts, sands, clays and rock. Also, Great Lakes dredging and land reclamation is a significant and essential infrastructure activity. Please

The summer Internship starts in May and ends in August. The summer Internship starts several days after the applicant's finals are completed. At these times the company will provide airfare to our corporate HQ where you will receive your technology for the internship. Once completed, we will provide transportation to one of our project sites. While on site the company will provide transportation in the form of a shared company vehicle or shared rental car. Housing will be provided on site in the form of a single hotel room or a shared company apartment (individual bedrooms). The company will also provide a $52 / day meal allowance for every day you are working on site. The company flies the intern back to their home airport on a Wednesday evening with a return flight back to site the following Wednesday. The internship normally ends ~1-2 weeks before classes begin again for the fall semester.

We are interested in receiving resumes of Civil Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Construction Management majors.
