A Level 1 internship serves as in introduction to ECS. This is the interns first summer with us. They would focus on field work and get hands-on experience. You get introduced to our safety culture and exposure to multiple job sites.
Our Level 2 internship is targeted towards interns returning for their second summer with ECS, or someone with previous internship experience equivalent to our Level 1 internship. Focus on higher level field work and introduction to project management tasks.
Our Level 3 internship is for students who have been with ECS for two or more summers. You can get a strong mix of field experience as well as project management tasks. The goal of our Level 3 internship is to prepare you for full-time employment at ECS.
Students in our Co-Op program focus on field work and obtaining hands-on experience. While our internships are typically during the summer, we offer a spring and fall Co-Op you are eligible to obtain credit at school for the work they perform

ECS provides the necessary training for our interns. We have three levels of interns (level 1: beginner, level 2: intermediate and level 3: advanced).
Each of our internships are slightly different. You can expect hands-on field experience that has you on projects providing solutions to our clients.
We seek degrees that complement our services. Civil engineering students are typically hired into our program. However, some majors that we would also consider are architectural engineering, environmental science, geology, geoscience and geotechnical engineering.
We make offers in both fall and spring for summer employment.
Unfortunately, no. If you have already graduated or graduate soon, we encourage you visit our career center and search our open positions.
Ideally, you would be in pursuit of an industry-related services degree, have reliable transportation and be located near an ECS location.
Don’t be discouraged. Things that can set you apart from others include achieving industry training and certifications from organizations such as: American Concrete Institute, Washington Area Council of Engineering Laboratories and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (40-hour HAZWOPER).
New interns receive onboarding information a month prior to your start date. You can reach out to the recruiting team in the meantime with questions.
While we do leverage our internships to hire for entry-level positions, accepting an internship does not necessarily lead to a full-time offer. There are several factors to receiving a full-time offer.
The expectation for our summer internships is approximately 10-12 weeks. If you’re interested in staying on longer, we have a co-op program that allows work to be done during the school year.
We’re glad you connected with us! You can submit your resume here to stay in our talent pipeline. Our university recruiting team reviews these submissions regularly and will reach out when internship or co-op opportunities open up that match your major and location preferences.
Students who have graduated are eligible to apply for full-time positions. Explore our current job openings and start your career with ECS.
