# 2027 AKS Geotechnical Engineering Internship Program

AKS Internships

Go Beyond the Classroom&nbsp; Looking to build&nbsp;real-world experience this summer? The AKS Internship Program gives college students the chance to apply what they’re learning in the classroom, build practical skills, and contribute in a professional environment. Through meaningful project experience and a supportive team setting, interns gain confidence, broaden their understanding of the industry, and take important steps toward career readiness.&nbsp;How it Works Each internship experience may look a little different depending on the role and team, but every internship is designed to help students learn by doing. Interns gain hands-on experience through real work, connect with professionals across AKS, and get a better understanding of how different disciplines contribute to project outcomes.&nbsp; For students who return, each summer can build on the last with new experiences, added responsibility, and a deeper understanding of areas that interest them. Participation is a one-summer commitment at a time. Students who are interested in returning are encouraged to express interest, and continued participation depends on performance, program fit, and available positions.&nbsp; Who You Are To be considered for this internship program, students should:&nbsp; Be currently enrolled in an accredited 2- or 4-year program with a declared major in Civil Engineering, Geology, Earth Sciences, or similar,&nbsp; Have completed at least one year of college before the internship start date&nbsp; Maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher&nbsp; Be available to work full-time for 12 weeks during the summer&nbsp; Be able to work from the Bend, OR, Keizer, OR, Tualatin, OR, or Vancouver, WA office, where this program is offered&nbsp; Have a valid driver’s license&nbsp; What You’ll Learn See how geotechnical and materials work supports construction: Build an understanding of how field observations, testing, and engineering judgment contribute to safe and successful projects.&nbsp; Apply classroom concepts in real-world conditions: Gain hands-on exposure to soils, rock, concrete, asphalt, and other construction materials through field and lab support activities.&nbsp; Develop practical field and documentation skills: Learn how testing, investigations, and clear recordkeeping help teams make informed project decisions.&nbsp; Day in the Life (Examples) Work under the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer and alongside the Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Testing teams to gain hands-on experience in a client-focused consulting environment. Interns can expect to work approximately 40-50 hours per week while contributing to project work and day-to-day team priorities. Responsibilities may include:&nbsp; Assisting with basic field and laboratory testing of construction materials such as soil, aggregate, asphalt, or concrete under the direction of qualified staff.&nbsp; Supporting geotechnical investigations by helping with site observations, exploration logging, sample handling, field notes, and other tasks related to subsurface exploration and project documentation.&nbsp; Assisting with special inspection and testing activities on active construction sites while learning how quality, safety, and compliance are evaluated in the field.&nbsp; Helping document test results, organize field and lab information, maintain equipment, and support day-to-day materials testing operations.&nbsp; We Have Your Back&nbsp; At AKS, interns are supported throughout the summer. Each intern is paired with a mentor and receives direction from a supervisor who guides assignments and project work. That supervisor may vary depending on the projects involved.&nbsp; Throughout the internship, interns receive regular feedback to support learning, growth, and professional development. At the end of the summer, each intern participates in a final evaluation to reflect on their experience, discuss future goals, and explore the possibility of returning for another internship, based on performance and available openings.&nbsp; Earn While You Learn&nbsp; This is a paid internship, and interns are compensated for their time and contributions. Pay is provided on an hourly basis, with overtime paid at one and a half times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a week. The typical pay range for this position is $19 to $25 per hour. Time off may be requested in advance, but it is unpaid. &nbsp;
