Internship – Structrual

At Shive-Hattery, we believe great design starts with great people. We’re a full-service architecture and engineering firm with a legacy of collaboration, innovation, and putting people first, our clients and each other. If you’re looking for a place where your ideas matter and your growth is supported, you’ll feel at home here.

As a Structural Intern in the Higher Ed Engineering market you’ll play a key role in supporting the firm and shaping projects that make a difference—from concept through completion. You’ll collaborate with talented teammates, contribute your expertise, and help us deliver thoughtful, high-quality solutions for those we serve.

Internships offer invaluable hands‑on experience to enhance your knowledge and understanding of your chosen career path. At Shive-Hattery, you’ll be treated as a full‑time staff member with access to the same opportunities for learning and growth. You’ll work on actual client projects, where your contributions will directly impact both Shive‑Hatters and the community. This experience will help expand your professional skill set and strengthen your portfolio, setting you up for future success.

As an intern, you will be paired with a mid‑to‑senior level employee who will serve as your mentor. This mentor/mentee relationship is designed to foster a supportive environment where you can candidly discuss your career goals and aspirations. Our one‑on‑one informal mentoring approach fosters the development of professional relationships that complement your academic learning, enriching your overall internship experience.

You will work on a variety of project types including higher ed utilities, healthcare, and industrial projects. These experiences will provide insights into the profession, collaborative teamwork, and serving the needs of our clients.

You don’t need to check every box to succeed here. If your experience aligns with many of the items below and you’re excited about the work we do, we encourage you to apply.

• Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis or a related engineering discipline.
