About the position
This internship provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a civil or structural-focused environment within a corporate setting. Interns in the Engineering department will be assigned to one of two tracks: core structural engineering with an emphasis on analysis or civil engineering. The training program is designed to offer hands-on experience with structural analysis software tools, complemented by theoretical training conducted by licensed professionals, including civil and structural engineers. Interns will collaborate in small groups alongside Senior Engineers to address the needs of the company effectively. In the structural engineering internship, the Engineering Intern will be responsible for performing structural analyses of cell phone towers. This includes preparing formal, written reports that detail the capacity of the towers and provide recommendations for modifications necessary to enhance their capacity.
