Water Civil Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

Interested in using engineering to solve problems that communities face every day?

As a Water Engineering Intern at HR Green, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on projects that help communities manage, protect, and improve one of their most important resources: water.

Depending on your team and location, you may gain experience in Water Resources, working on challenges involving stormwater, flooding, drainage, and streams, or Water/Wastewater, helping plan and design the systems that deliver clean water and safely collect and treat wastewater.

For more than 110 years, HR Green has partnered with communities to design and build the infrastructure people rely on every day. From the roads you travel and the water you use to the communities where people live and work, our mission is simple: Building Communities. Improving Lives.

Our people are at the heart of that mission. We’re proud to be recognized as a Great Place to Work and consistently ranked among Engineering News Record’s Top 500 Design Firms in the United States.

As an intern, you’ll contribute to real projects, learn from experienced engineers, and have people invested in helping you grow. You’ll also have opportunities to explore different areas of civil engineering, build relationships across HR Green, and start discovering where you want your career to take you.

Water engineering is about solving real problems that impact communities and the environment. As an intern, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers and gain exposure to projects involving water, wastewater, stormwater, flooding, and other critical infrastructure.

During your internship, you may:

Support the planning, design, and analysis of water infrastructure projects

Assist with data collection, engineering calculations, modeling, drawings, reports, and project documentation

Gain exposure to stormwater and flood reduction, pipelines, pumping stations, treatment facilities, streams, and drainage systems

Participate in field visits and project meetings to see how engineering solutions move from planning and design into the real world

Work alongside engineers and design professionals while building your technical skills and understanding of water engineering

You don’t need to arrive knowing how to do all of this. That’s what the internship is for.

Your project work is only one part of your experience at HR Green. Our internship program is designed to help you learn, explore, and start figuring out where you want your career to go.

Throughout the summer, you’ll have opportunities to:

Follow a structured intern learning curriculum

Connect with a mentor and experienced professionals invested in your development

Participate in intern roundtables focused on engineering, consulting, professional development, and your career

Learn about other HR Green business units and, when opportunities are available, shadow other teams

Continue developing your skills through LinkedIn Learning and other training resources

Build relationships with interns, engineers, and leaders across HR Green

You don’t have to have your entire career figured out before you get here. You may discover a passion for Water Resources or Water/Wastewater, or your summer may introduce you to another area of civil engineering that interests you.

We want to give you the experiences and exposure to help you find where you fit.
