Atkins’s summer internship program in Transportation Engineering offers students the opportunity to gain valuable training, hands-on experience, and mentorship in one of the following transportation/water resources engineering fields: planning, roadway design, traffic, drainage, and/or construction.  Interns can expect to perform actual engineering work on real projects, learn from senior staff, and be exposed to many different areas of engineering.  In addition to technical training, interns are introduced to the Atkins business model, culture, history and service lines.  Interns are encouraged to develop relationships on an individual, team, and company level.  The program is also designed to facilitate intern involvement in team and company activities. 

Internships typically last ten weeks, begin in early June and end mid-August. An opportunity for a co-op past the internship period may also be available pending transportation group need and intern performance.
