Job Description
We are seeking a Civil Engineering Intern with an environmental focus to support critical infrastructure and environmental initiatives at our nuclear fuel cycle facility.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in the design and evaluation of stormwater management systems, secondary containment structures, wastewater treatment facilities, and foundation designs for nuclear-related infrastructure.
- Support regulatory compliance efforts by helping ensure civil engineering work aligns with NRC, EPA, DOE, and state environmental regulations related to nuclear fuel cycle operations.
- Support site and environmental assessments for soil stability, groundwater protection, flood mitigation, and seismic resilience.
- Assist in designing and optimizing waste handling and storage systems to help minimize environmental impact.
- Help design and maintain hydrology and stormwater management systems that prevent contamination and control runoff from nuclear facilities.
- Support structural analysis efforts to help assess facility structures against natural hazards, aging infrastructure concerns, and potential accidental loads.
- Collaborate with nuclear, mechanical, and environmental engineers, health physicists, and regulatory specialists to help develop holistic solutions.
- Support project coordination on civil/environmental engineering projects, helping track schedules, budgets, and safety requirements.
- Assist in developing engineering-based mitigation plans for flooding, erosion, and environmental containment in case of accidents or natural disasters.
Requirements
- Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
- General knowledge of applicable industry standards for industrial facility construction and environmental compliance.
- Familiarity with AutoCAD, GIS, or civil engineering design software (e.g., Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, HY-8).
- Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn.
- Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
- Coursework or project experience with stormwater management, hydrology, or geotechnical analysis.
- Interest in nuclear fuel cycle, radioactive waste management, or radiological environmental assessments.
- Exposure to seismic and flood hazard assessments.
- Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
Benefits & Perks
- The hourly pay range for this internship is $30–$40 per hour, depending on the candidate's current standing in school (i.e. sophomore, senior).
- Interns will receive a monthly housing stipend, and are eligible for overtime pay. Please note that the stated hourly range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors.
