Job Description
Salary: $15 to $20 per hour

The MORPC Local Government Summer Internship Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to obtain practical work experience with a local government within MORPCs 15-county region to prepare them for possible careers in public service. MORPC coordinates the recruitment and placement of students to match each hosts request; hosts make the final hiring decision and provide an hourly wage. Interns work for a host for a minimum of 16 hours to a maximum of 40 hours per week for a 10- to 14-week period, which means there are both part-time and full-time positions available. The summer 2026 internship program will begin on May 12th and will end on August 14th.


Interns gain applicable knowledge to enhance classroom learning by working with current government professionals throughout Central Ohio and acquire insights into the services provided by a regional planning commission. Interns also can attend monthly commission meetings as well as special MORPC-sponsored events and are paired with a MORPC staff member to serve as their mentor during the summer internship program.


Previous Civil Engineering/Engineering interns have gained experience using Microsoft Excel, Bluebeam Revu, ArcGIS, Hydro CAD, Streetmix, Adobe Acrobat, FMX, and other software programs on the job. Specific past assignments include:

  • Regulating private stormwater BMP (Best Management Practice) that applies to wet, dry, and bio retention basins
  • Assisting in bridge overhauls, culvert installations, and road paving
  • Creating site plan reviews for private housing developments
  • Assisting with construction project management for capital improvement projects such as roadways, traffic signals, sidewalks, and shared-use paths
  • Estimating bike lanes and decorative intersection costs in addition to performing preliminary route planning
  • Reviewing and submitting sewer right of way plans in addition to collecting and organizing said plans to be uploaded to city database
  • Assisting City/County Engineers with planning processes
  • Creating/updating paybooks, project bill of materials, and other duties as assigned



Qualifications

Students must meet the following requirements:

  • 30 hours of completed college coursework (preferred)
  • Interest in public service careers
  • GPA 3.0 or higher (preferred)
  • Legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Reliable transportation to and from work
  • Attend a Central Ohio college OR attend other college and have access to local housing


Benefits

All MORPC internships are paid opportunities! Pay ranges between $15 to $20 per hour depending on the host.

Additional benefits include practical work experience, mentorship, and exposure to services offered by a regional planning commission.
