Internship & Co-Op Programs

As part of our commitment to professional development, raSmith offers internship and co-op opportunities for students in their sophomore to senior years. Our “student employees” gain valuable, real-world experience in these programs to prepare for a professional career in one of our divisions.

Our internships and co-op positions help bridge the gap between college and professional full-time employment. Student employees receive extensive on-the-job training and mentoring through the following ways:

• Participate on a variety of challenging projects
• Work side-by-side with seasoned professionals
• Hone problem-solving abilities
• Develop technical skills

Internships and co-op positions differ in their durations. Internships consist of one term in the summer or a semester during the school year, and co-op roles include three terms (summer or semesters).

Additionally, raSmith offers a unique rotational co-op program. Student employees have the opportunity to work one term in (or “rotate” through) three divisions at our firm — municipal engineering, transportation engineering, and construction services. Similar to our rotational engineer program for recent college graduates, this co-op role provides student employees with the following advantages:

• Customized mentoring and guidance
• Practical experience including field testing and inspection
• Skills development in software programs such as Civil 3D

Our internships and co-op positions serve as gateways to exciting career opportunities at raSmith after graduation from college. Read what a couple of our former student employees (now full-time raSmith engineers) have to say:
