As a proud UW Alum from the Civil Engineering program, I wanted to forward you a terrific intern opportunity that Kleinfelder has in our Redmond office (easy busy ride from the UW). Our internship program is approximately 4 years old now and we have had really good success with UW interns and are currently interning a UW Student. Our internship program works closely with the students class schedule and allows them to gain valuable experience and knowledge in the Civil Engineering arena. In general, the intern could expect to work in both a material testing laboratory (concrete, soils, gravels, grout, and asphalt) and working out in the field with our senior inspectors and engineers on large scale projects (Sound Transit, WSDOT, and / or other municipal projects). In regards to working hours, we would like the intern to work between 8 and 16 hours per week.
