At HNTB, we are looking for an intern who can assist our engineering teams in various tasks and duties related to infrastructure projects. This position is an excellent opportunity for students currently enrolled in an accredited post-secondary engineering program to gain practical experience in the field. The intern will be involved in basic engineering tasks that reflect elements of a standard engineering curriculum, particularly in the area of signal systems which are crucial for the safe movement of railway traffic. HNTB is recognized as a leader in this field, providing comprehensive services from initial planning through technical design and project management to construction support. The intern will work closely with the HNTB Signal team, which is actively engaged in providing services for transportation agencies across the country. Responsibilities will include assisting in the layout of block designs for railways based on performance criteria and operational needs, as well as the development of circuits to control signal lighting and switch machines. The intern will also gain exposure to the design of microprocessor and relay-based interlockings and highway grade crossing warning systems, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. This role is based out of our Chelmsford, Massachusetts office, and while it offers a chance to contribute to a diverse range of projects, please note that relocation and housing are not provided for this position. The intern will play a vital role in supporting the successful delivery of projects for HNTB's clients, gaining valuable insights and experience in the engineering field.
