Summer Internship - Civil Engineering

Opportunity

On this 6‑week Summer Internship you'll work alongside skilled professionals and from day one you will be working on real‑life meaningful projects - adding value to clients, while exploring challenges with curiosity and creativity.

You'll learn from others and begin creating your professional network ready for when you graduate. There are regular learning sessions with our leadership team, opportunities for site visits to local projects and all kinds of social events that will support your learning and development.

Our aim is to welcome as many students back into our other programmes – whether it is another internship or a potential graduate position. This placement is the stepping‑stone to your future.

Our Civil Engineers can find themselves working in partnership with our experts in buildings, bridges, tunnels, geotechnics, environmental consulting and transport planning. Energy, collaboration, and effective communication is fundamental to bring these elements together as our Civil Engineering teams are often at the core of these disciplines acting as integrators or facilitators. Our teams also work closely with many external bodies to deliver the project, from clients and architects to statutory approval organisations.

Our core skills in the Civil Engineering teams in the Transport portfolio typically include rail engineering, sustainable roads and streets development, maritime ports, pavement designs, earthworks assessments and utilities coordination.

You'll help us to deliver effective and professional services for a range of varied and high‑profile clients. While you'll have a great deal of responsibility from day one, we'll give you the chance to take on more as you progress and broaden your skills.
