Looking for hands‑on experience in materials testing? Join us this summer as a Geotechnical Lab Intern, where you'll gain valuable exposure to real‑world engineering practices in a fast‑paced lab environment. You’ll perform essential tests on asphalt, concrete, soil, and aggregates, support data entry and reporting, and assist with equipment maintenance, all while learning industry standards like ASTM, AASHTO, and WAQTC. This is an excellent opportunity for students pursuing civil engineering or related fields to build practical skills, work alongside experienced technicians, and see how materials shape the structures around us.

If you're detail-oriented, eager to learn, and ready to contribute,

• Perform data entry, record keeping, invoicing, test reporting, and other administrative duties.
• Ability to learn and apply ASTM, AASHTO, ATM, WAQTC, and other laboratory test procedures.
• Perform testing in the laboratory on soil and construction materials to include modified Proctors, sieve analyses, plasticity index tests, soil classification, and other soil, asphalt, and concrete test processing.
• Work in the concrete room prepping and performing tests on concrete cylinders, cores, masonry block, and prisms for compressive strength…
