Description
Structural Engineering Intern
Waltham, MA | Summer 2027
About the Opportunity
Are you interested in gaining hands-on experience designing large, complex structures? Join Walker Consultants as a Structural Engineering Intern and work alongside experienced engineers, architects, planners, and restoration professionals on projects that make an impact across the built environment.
At Walker, you’ll have the opportunity to work on some of the largest and most complex parking structures in the world, including structures serving resorts, casinos, airports, and other major developments.
Parking structures combine many of the challenges found in both buildings and bridges, requiring thoughtful structural design, materials knowledge, long spans, durability considerations, and attention to aesthetics. You’ll gain exposure to real-world engineering projects while working as part of a multidisciplinary team and learning from experienced professionals.
You’ll report directly to a Director of Design, Project Manager, or Project Engineer and have the opportunity to contribute throughout different phases of a project.
What You'll Do
As a Structural Engineering Intern, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Work alongside Project Architects and Engineers to develop structural designs and construction documents.
- Assist with structural design calculations and detailing for superstructures, foundations, and soil-retention systems.
- Develop and coordinate 3D building models using Revit/BIM technology.
- Prepare and revise drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and structural details.
- Interpret and apply building codes and other applicable requirements.
- Participate in project coordination and meetings with engineers, architects, and other team members.
- Assist with construction-phase activities, including reviewing submittals and shop drawings.
- Participate in fieldwork and site visits to gain firsthand experience with active projects.
- Learn how structural design decisions translate from the drawing board to the field.
What You'll Bring
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering, Engineering, or Architectural/Engineering Technology.
- 0–5 years of previous structural design experience.
- Familiarity with Revit is preferred.
- Experience with AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Project is a plus.
- Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, architects, consultants, and clients.
- Reliable access to a personal vehicle for the duration of the internship.
