Concrete Engineer Intern- Kiewit Infrastructure Engineers (Summer 2025)

Position Overview

The Concrete Engineer Intern position is part of Kiewit Infrastructure Engineering (KIE) and reports directly to a full-time Concrete Engineer. Main responsibilities include providing support, analysis, and design to Kiewit projects. 

Project involvement can occur at any stage (Get Work or Build Work) of a project’s life cycle.  Get Work tasks include proposal development, Task Force participation, technical proposal design including alternative technical design concept (ATC), and proposal cost estimating support.  Build Work tasks include Task Force participation, development of final designs including but not limited to concrete troubleshooting, development of project specifications, concrete mixes, testing procedures, preparations of thermal control plans, durability and service life engineering, construction engineering, and construction operations oversight.   

Projects often rely on KIE technical resources, consultants, and/or subcontractors for staffing engineering-related construction tasks.  Project deliverables include technical solutions, design reports, memorandums, and letters.  These deliverables provide technical analysis, technical interpretations, and professional recommendations while adhering to KIE’s Design Quality Management Plan. Additionally, project deliverables may require field technical support with site visits and investigations.    

Concrete Engineering is considered a “specialty” engineering service and as such has high visibility with Project upper management, where high professionalism is always expected.  Project related travel varies and can be anywhere in North America.
