Summer 2027 Internship - Civil Engineering

Responsibilities

• Assist in the design and evaluation of stormwater management systems, secondary containment structures, wastewater treatment facilities, and foundation designs for nuclear-related infrastructure.
• Support regulatory compliance efforts by helping ensure civil engineering work aligns with NRC, EPA, DOE, and state environmental regulations related to nuclear fuel cycle operations.
• Support site and environmental assessments for soil stability, groundwater protection, flood mitigation, and seismic resilience.
• Assist in designing and optimizing waste handling and storage systems to help minimize environmental impact.
• Help design and maintain hydrology and stormwater management systems that prevent contamination and control runoff from nuclear facilities.
• Support structural analysis efforts to help assess facility structures against natural hazards, aging infrastructure concerns, and potential accidental loads.
• Collaborate with nuclear, mechanical, and environmental engineers, health physicists, and regulatory specialists to help develop holistic solutions.
• Support project coordination on civil/environmental engineering projects, helping track schedules, budgets, and safety requirements.
• Assist in developing engineering-based mitigation plans for flooding, erosion, and environmental containment in case of accidents or natural disasters.
• Basic Qualifications
• Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
