Role description:

Arcadis is seeking candidates for a Civil Engineering Intern role who are entering their senior year in an ABET-accredited degree program in Civil Engineering to join our Resilience Water team in Louisiana.

This is an exciting opportunity for an aspiring engineer to join our nationally recognized technical staff and utilize their expertise and knowledge of flood control infrastructure design & construction to explore a career in water resources engineering.

Role accountabilities:

The candidate can expect to participate in activities ranging from concept level planning to the preparation of detailed engineering designs and construction specifications for heavy civil infrastructure projects.  Project examples may include demolition, rehabilitation, and/or new construction of levees, floodwalls, waterways, reservoirs, locks, dams, drainage systems, and roadways.  The Civil Engineer position will be focused on project layout, geometrics, and survey control; grading and drainage design; subsurface utility coordination and relocation; pavements, ground improvement measures, and slope stabilization systems; and erosion and sediment control measures.  

This role will support licensed engineers who are responsible for preparing engineering reports, design calculations, design drawings, and contract specifications in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers design publications, similar guidelines from other federal and/or state agencies or international equivalents and overseeing the preparation of construction quantity takeoffs and construction cost estimates.  The candidate will have an opportunity to gain technical proficiency in at least one of the following civil design tools and the corresponding CAD platform with the intent of becoming proficient in both:  Bentley® OpenRoads Designer (MicroStation Connect Edition), AutoDesk® Civil 3D (AutoCAD).

Finally, the Civil Engineer plays an important role on our engineering teams to produce well thought-out designs and quality drawing packages needed to control project construction and deliver critical solutions for our clients.  With this in mind, the Civil Engineer must develop a solid awareness of the interconnections of the systems being designed in order to help the team manage the effects of design development and impacts of change.  The candidate can expect to be mentored by our excellent technical staff to cultivate these insights while developing the knowledge and skillsets that will be needed for a successful career in water resources engineering.  Life-long learning and continuing professional development is fostered through in-house knowledge management and educational experiences, access to a formal mentoring program, support of pursuing various industry-valued credentials and certifications, and access to a tuition reimbursement program for graduate-level studies.

Qualifications & Experience:

Enrollment in an ABET-accredited Bachelor’s degree program in Civil Engineering.
