Internship Opportunity with JCM Northlink

JCM Northlink LLC, a contractor working on the Northgate to UW tunneling project, is looking for 2-3 interns to start on June 6- June 9th 2016. The announcement is below, act promptly if interested! 

Brian Hagen of JCM Northlink is looking for another batch of interns for the final tunnel stretch (it is possible that it will be the stretch that runs almost under More Hall to the UW Tower!) that will  conveniently happen this summer.

The intern position is titled as TUNNEL HEADING ENGINEER TECHNICIAN. The candidates are mainly responsible to be in the operator’s cabin of the tunnel boring machines and mainly record, report, and perform quality control on the progress of the tunneling operation. This is a great opportunity for UW students to learn the tunneling operation as one of the greatest infrastructure fields in civil engineering. This could potentially lead to a great job opportunity after graduation for the students within our company and/or tunneling industry.

The preferred candidate will be a senior or junior in CEE (with an interest in construction or geotechnical is a major plus).

The intern position is set to be for a 3 month in period (With a chance to be extended to 6 month). The interns will work 50 hour a week in either one of two shifts (6 am-4 pm or 4 pm- 2 am). The starting date is June 6th – June 9th 2016.

Please email your resumes to bhagan@jaydee.us if you are interested.
