Job Description

Construction Engineering Internship | Summer 2026

Start Building Your Career Before You Graduate. At HR Green, we don’t believe internships should mean busywork or shadowing from the sidelines. We believe in real projects, real mentorship, and real impact — the kind that helps you figure out not just what you want to do, but where you want to grow.

Our mission is simple and meaningful: Building Communities. Improving Lives. For more than 110 years, we’ve partnered with communities across the country to design infrastructure that people rely on every day — clean water, safe roads, sustainable development, and resilient systems. In 2025, we were proud to be ranked #168 on ENR’s Top 500 Design Firms and recognized as a Best Place to Work — but what matters most to us is the people who make that work possible.

What You’ll Experience as an HR Green Intern

Our paid Civil Engineering Internship is designed for students who want hands-on experience, not just resume lines. During this Construction Engineering internship opportunity you will:

  • Support construction engineering staff by observing and documenting contractor work to help ensure compliance with plans, specifications, and safety requirements.
  • Assist with field data collection, basic measurements, material checks, and construction documentation under the supervision of experienced engineers.
  • Participate in field meetings and daily site activities to gain hands-on exposure to transportation construction, quality assurance, and project coordination.

You won’t be doing this alone. Every intern is:

  • Paired with a new-hire buddy for day-to-day guidance
  • Supported by experienced engineers who want to teach, mentor, and invest in you
  • Invited to office events, networking opportunities, and team activities that help you feel like part of the firm — not “just an intern”

Is This Internship Right for You?

We’re especially excited to meet current sophomores and juniors who want to explore consulting and infrastructure early.

You should be:

  • Enrolled in an accredited Civil, Environmental, or related Engineering program
  • Curious, motivated, and eager to learn
  • Comfortable with basic office software (Word, Excel, etc.)
  • Familiar with, or quick to learn, CADD and engineering tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, ArcGIS, Civil 3D and similar industry software
  • Available to start between mid-May and early June 2026

Compensation

$18-28/hr

The expected compensation range for this position is displayed in accordance with the Illinois Salary Transparency amendment to the Equal Pay Act of 2003. The final agreed-upon compensation is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: individual education, qualifications, skills, prior work experience, competencies, and geographic work location. The total annual compensation package may consist of a base salary and eligibility to participate, after a qualifying period, in our performance and discretionary incentive bonus program(s).
