Paid, full-time, May/June to August | Kalamazoo, MI

  • Estimating: help prepare cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, and bid packages for municipal and industrial projects

  • PFAS: assist with the treatment and destruction work that is advancing how PFAS is addressed

  • Other areas: additional opportunities may be available in [e.g., project management, field operations, safety, business development, marketing]

Your specific assignments will depend on your team and interests, but all interns can expect to:

  • Work on real projects with real deadlines

  • Learn from experienced mentors in your area

  • Gain hands-on exposure to how the industry operates, in the office and in the field
