Internship Opportunities

Locations: Greenville, SC and/or Asheville, NC
Employment Type: Full-Time, Temporary (Seasonal)
Reports To: Superintendent or PM, depending on role

About the Role

The internship roles are built for students who want to bridge the gap between engineering theory and physical execution —you want to see how big ideas become real structures. We believe the best engineers aren’t just great designers – they’re builders, problem-solvers, and leaders who understand how things come together in the field.

We are currently offering two different internship positions, which are described below.  You will have the opportunity to choose your preference in your application.

Office Opportunity: This is a true “behind-the-bid” experience where you’ll be a key part of our office team, working directly alongside our project managers on active pursuits. You’ll dig into estimating, bids, and proposals day in and day out, learning how a project gets won before it ever breaks ground. Every so often you’ll trade the desk for the truck, hitting the road on day trips to visit our sites and projects and see firsthand what those numbers and proposals turn into. This internship delivers an unfiltered, hands-on dive into the business side of geotechnical construction, where every bid brings something new to figure out and build.

• Work with project managers and estimators, gaining hands-on experience in the preparation of estimates, bids, and proposals for geotechnical projects.
• Support the Project Manager in day-to-day coordination, client communication, and proposal deadlines.
• Observe and assist with quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, and pricing procedures.
• Join field visits to active job sites to understand the relationship between the estimate and the constructability of the project.

Field Opportunity: This is a true “boots and hard hat” experience where you’ll be a key part of a field crew, working Monday through Friday on active project sites. You’ll “pack your bags” Monday morning, hit the road, and spend the week building alongside experienced professionals. This internship delivers an unfiltered, hands-on dive into geotechnical construction, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving, where every day brings something new to figure out and build.

• Work with field crews, gaining hands-on experience in the construction of geotechnical systems such as soil nail walls, tiebacks and micropiles.
• Support the Jobsite Superintendent & Foreman in day-to-day operations, site logistics, and safety protocols.
• Observe and assist with field-level quality control and load testing procedures
• Verify that field activities align with approved drawings and specifications to understand the relationship between design and constructability.

Interns work closely with experienced professionals and are encouraged to ask questions, take initiative, and grow their technical and professional skill sets.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong attention to detail and a desire to understand the physical mechanics of engineering
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, high-activity field environment.
• Willingness to take initiative and learn from experienced field professionals.
• Comfort performing manual labor outdoors in varying weather conditions and rugged terrain.
• Possess valid current driver’s license with a good driving record.

Required Qualifications

• • Enrolled in a Bachelors Degree program in Civil Engineering or Construction Management.
  • Emphasis of Geotechnical specialization is a plus, but not required.
