Civil & Construction Engineer Intern

At Relativity Space,we’rebuilding rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. Butthat’sjust the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here,you'renot just executing tasks;you'resolving problems thathaven’tbeen solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’rein propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function,you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the storieswe’rewriting together.

Now is a unique moment in timewhereit’searly enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

The Construction Design and Delivery team is at the core of Relativity’s growth and development. Through our collaboration and expertise, we deliver projects that lay the foundation for Relativity’s future  essence, webuild the factory that buildsthe rockets! Weare responsible forcross functional relationships with teams such as Manufacturing, Propulsion, PBF, Avionics, Machine Shop, Facilities, EHS and Security to name a few, working through design specifications and execution of critical infrastructure projects that supports the mission of work centers.

Our relationships don’tstop there, working daily with government agencies, utility suppliers,vendors and contractors who support our factory build out. Our team ensures that all projects meet operational requirements,safetyand environmental codes, all the whileremainingwithin budget, delivering on time, and to the highest quality as we help to drive production forward.
