WHO YOU ARE

Whether a pre-engineering freshman/sophomore or junior/senior and more advanced in your curriculum, you’re passionate about what you’re looking to learn in a real-world environment.
• You’re an eager student looking to gain hands-on experience working in an office environment. You’re highly-motivated and looking to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom toward delivering unique solutions for real-world clients.

You’ll assist with plan drafting (using CAD software and 3-D modeling) as well as field surveys and documentation. You’ll prepare sketches, technical comparisons and similar technical work. 
• You’ll gain well-rounded experience. Working on all types of projects from our Chicago office, you’ll be mentored by experts in your field to enhance your current classroom curriculum. We learn by doing, so you’ll be given a good deal of responsibility and tasked with communicating project activities with your team.
• You’ll enjoy what you do. You’ll work with great people, learn, grow and have a good time doing it.
