RES is seeking an Engineering Intern to join our dynamic team across in Virginia (Warrenton & Richmond, VA offices). This internship offers you the chance to apply your academic knowledge focusing on practical applications in ecological restoration, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and environmental sustainability. As an intern, you will work closely with experts across various disciplines, including engineering, ecology, regulatory, ecological construction and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) teams to gain insights into the integration of ecological design and restoration practices. Your contributions will directly support projects that enhance ecosystems, protect resources, and drive sustainable outcomes.
Program Highlights:
This full-time internship runs from May to August (specific dates will be tailored to student’s schedule) and require a commitment of 40 hours per week.
Take the next step in your journey to shape the future of environmental engineering—apply today and join us in building a more sustainable tomorrow.
As an Engineering Intern, your responsibilities could encompass a dynamic mix of fieldwork, data analysis, and design support. By the end of the internship, participants will have assisted with the development of ecological restoration designs and the preparation of components of technical reports. In addition, participants will deliver a presentation summarizing their experiences and contributions during their internship.
In the Field Surveys and Data Collection phase, you will collect essential data on stream flow, in-stream habitat, bank erosion potential, cross sections, longitudinal profiles, and stream bed material. Using GPS, laser levels, and total stations, you’ll conduct stream surveys to support post-restoration monitoring or restoration designs. Collaboration with the Ecology and Stream Sciences Team will provide opportunities to gather critical data on vegetation, soil, and water quality.
In the Design Support phase, you’ll help create preliminary and detailed designs for stream and wetland restoration projects using AutoCAD Civil 3D. Your role may include watershed modeling, designing and sizing channels and in-stream features such as riffles and pools to enhance habitat functionality. You’ll also assist in preparing grading plans, sediment and erosion control measures, and bank stabilization techniques.
Finally, in GIS and Mapping, you’ll utilize GIS tools to analyze and map watershed or project site characteristics, including land use, topography, and hydrography data. Your work will also involve creating maps to support ecological assessments and visually illustrate site conditions.
This combination of activities ensures a rich and varied experience, allowing you to contribute meaningfully to impactful environmental projects.
We would like to talk to you if you have many of the following:
