Land Planning Student Intern - Civil (Spring Co Op 2027)

About the role

Our Land Planning market follows a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates the combined expertise of civil engineers, landscape architects, planners and surveyors. We excel at projects both large and small in scale—whether it’s creating site plans for a development, designing public spaces and bike/pedestrian paths, or incorporating green, low-impact features that help improve a community’s quality of life. We invite you to join us! Internships and Co-Ops at Gresham Smith provide students with the opportunity to develop real-world skills in an environment that supports personal and professional growth. As an Engineering Intern, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to gain hands-on exposure to the design and delivery of real-world projects, applying classroom knowledge, building technical skills, and learning how multidisciplinary teams collaborate. Many of our interns have gone on to continue their careers with us as full-time employees after graduation.
