Civil Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

The 2027 Summer Internship Program will run from May/June through August 2027.

This internship will support our Civil Engineering team in our Newport News, VA office.

At ATCS, our interns have the opportunity to gain meaningful, hands-on experience while contributing to real projects. As a Civil Engineering Intern, you’ll work alongside engineers and other professionals primarily on site/civil and land development projects, with opportunities to gain exposure to transportation design projects as well. You’ll develop your technical skills while learning how civil engineering projects move from planning and design through completion.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supporting engineers with site/civil and land development design projects.
• Assisting with the preparation of site plans, grading, drainage, utility, and other civil design plans.
• Supporting transportation and roadway design projects, as opportunities arise.
• Assisting with engineering calculations, data collection, and technical documentation.
• Using engineering and design software to prepare plans, drawings, and other project deliverables.
• Supporting the preparation of reports, exhibits, and other project documentation.
• Collaborating with engineers and other team members to complete project tasks.
• Participating in project meetings and gaining exposure to the day-to-day work of a civil engineering team.
• Assisting with other technical and administrative tasks as needed.

Desired Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related field.
• Interest in land development, site/civil design, and/or transportation engineering.
• Previous coursework related to civil engineering design is preferred.
• Previous internship or related experience is a plus, but not required.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office programs.
• Exposure to AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, or other engineering/design software is a plus.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to apply what you’re learning in the classroom, gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of civil engineering, and explore a career in land development and transportation design, we encourage you to apply for the ATCS 2027 Summer Internship Program!
