Internship Opportunity: SDOT Project Delivery Intern (Engineering)

Dear Students,

My team over at the Seattle Department of Transportation are looking for 3 interns interested in design and construction management! This internship includes surveying, using AutoCAD to create plans for crews to use for installation, and managing the construction of the project. Our team works on small/medium multi-modal projects (bicycle/pedestrian/transit) such as Safe Routes to Schools, Vision Zero, Neighborhood Greenways, and many more!

As someone who was an intern for this group prior to graduation, this internship was great because you’re able to get first-hand experience on designing, working/coordinating with crews/contractors, and seeing what you designed be built in the streets of Seattle!

This opportunity is open to both Undergraduate and Graduate Students.

For more information and where to apply (deadline 4/9/2024), please visit: SDOT Project Delivery Intern (Engineering) | Job Details tab | Career Pages (governmentjobs.com)
