Civil/Environmental Engineering Intern/Co-op – Water (Summer 2027)

Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. We work on all elements of conveyance and treatment including for potable water treatment and wastewater including resource recovery such as energy production, recycled water and nutrient recovery. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. Grow with us, H2O+U.
