Civil Engineer Intern

About Us

Since the company's beginning in 1985, we've blended the disciplines of civil engineering and landscape architecture from concept to completion to create places of legacy and inspiration for our clients, community, and family. There is a big difference in how engineers and landscape architects visualize a project. At SW+ we approach every plan from both points of view, working together to create a successfully integrated venture. In our world, that's a good thing.

With the goal of being the best design firm in the region, the SW+ leadership team continues to attract the brightest talent, each with a unique expertise in one of the many facets of land design. SW+ has a diverse portfolio at a variety of scales in both the public and private sector including mixed-use commercial developments, urban and suburban multifamily, healthcare, office, high end resort and parks and recreation projects.

With over 200+ employees, and offices in Mount Pleasant, Greenville, Summerville, and Spartanburg, SC as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, NC, SW+ inspires employees to stand behind its tagline, "Elevating the site design experience." Company culture is at the core of who we are. SW+ offers a mentorship program and other professional growth opportunities. In addition, company sponsored events, such as golf tournaments, sports teams, and happy hours, along with philanthropic endeavors provide opportunities throughout the year to lift morale and strengthen bonds between coworkers.

We are currently seeking motivated and enthusiastic students to join our 2026 Civil Engineer Summer Internship Program in all of our office locations.

Interns will gain industry knowledge by being placed on a Civil Engineering Team and work with a variety of Designers, Project Managers, and Landscape Architects. Mentors will be assigned to support each Intern.
