Are you interested in applying your skills to formulate innovative solutions for the water resource and renewable energy sectors?
If so, Gomez and Sullivan Engineers would like to hear from you. We are a growing engineering and environmental science company working at the intersection of renewable energy and environmental restoration. We plan to continue our sustainable growth for current and future generations of our employees. We are a multi-disciplined team of civil, water resources, geotechnical, structural, and environmental engineers as well as scientists, technicians, and support staff that promotes close coordination and team building. Our company is employee-focused and encourages an atmosphere of continued learning and professional growth, exposure to a wide variety of project responsibilities, and frequent interaction with the firm’s principals and leaders. We firmly believe in treating our team members as well as we treat our clients, and we maintain a personable, positive work environment.
Our company has immediate openings for Engineering Interns majoring in Civil, Structural, Geotechnical, Water Resources, or Environmental Engineering. Interns assist our engineers and scientists with relevant services specific to hydropower, dams, fish passage and stream restoration. Assignments will entail field assessments, data processing/analysis, design and report writing for a variety of projects. Interns may also contribute to proposal development efforts and general administrative work as needed.
Ideal candidates are current students (third year or above) or recent graduates. Completed coursework in or experience with GIS, surveying, drafting software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil3D, or Revit), structural analysis software (e.g., Visual Analysis, STAAD.Pro, etc.), or hydrologic/hydraulic modeling software (e.g., HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, etc.) is desired.
Candidates must be comfortable working outdoors and around water. A valid driver’s license is required; access to a personal vehicle is desirable. Internships typically begin mid-May and end in August with flexible start/end dates.
