Transportation Engineering/Planning Internship
You won't be running for coffee or making photocopies.
This isn’t your average internship. At Kittelson, you’ll have the same responsibilities as an entry-level employee, and we’ll pair you with a mentor to help you on your journey. Our internship program is designed around collaboration, giving you every opportunity possible to interact with Kittelson staff and get to know your fellow interns, while seeing firsthand what it’s like to work in the transportation profession.
You’ll spend your time working on real projects, including software analysis, field work, technical writing, graphics development, client meetings, public engagement, and work sessions. While based in one of Kittelson’s many offices, you’ll be exposed to staff across the firm through training sessions, informal meetings, project work, and a two-day Intern Summit focused on engaging with transportation professionals, Kittelson leadership, and other interns.
Kittelson’s internship program takes place every summer. Interns earn a competitive pay, ranging from $22.00-$30.25 per hour depending on their year in school and the office location where they work. Interns also receive a relocation bonus to assist with costs related to their move and housing for the summer.
Our internship program is an important part of who we are as an organization and we strive to provide a valuable learning experience for all interns. We look for graduate and undergraduate students with open minds, strong communication skills, a passion to learn about the transportation profession, the ability to think critically and solve complex problems, and a drive to move the industry forward.
We begin our intern selection process in September and encourage early applications, as most intern commitments are confirmed by the end of December.
