Pennoni is seeking an Engineering Intern to join our Leesburg, VA office and support a variety of public and private land development projects throughout the region. This is an excellent opportunity for a civil engineering student to gain hands-on exposure to site layout, grading, utility design, stormwater management, permitting, construction documents, and engineering reports while working closely with experienced engineers and project managers. In this role, you will support project teams through various stages of design, from early planning and conceptual layouts through detailed design and permitting support.

Primary Responsibilities:

Assist project engineers with the preparation of civil engineering plans for public and private land development projects. Support site design tasks, including site layout, grading, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, and utility design. Help prepare permit application materials, exhibits, calculations, and supporting documentation for agency review. Assist with reviewing local municipal ordinances, county requirements, and state regulations applicable to assigned project tasks. Contribute to engineering reports by organizing technical information and documenting project assumptions, design criteria, and regulatory requirements. Work in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment under the guidance of experienced engineers and project managers. Additional tasks may be assigned, as needed.

Required Qualifications:

Enrollment in a Civil Engineering or related engineering program, such as Environmental Engineering or Construction Engineering, at an ABET-accredited institution. Candidates should have completed or be actively pursuing coursework related to site/civil design, land development, water resources, transportation, utilities, or related civil engineering topics.

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior internship, co-op, academic project, or work experience related to land development, site/civil design, stormwater management, water resources, utilities, or construction is a plus. Familiarity with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Bluebeam Revu, and related engineering or design tools. Proficiency with basic office software applications, especially Microsoft Office 365 and Adobe PDF applications. Exposure to stormwater management design concepts, erosion and sediment control, grading, utility design, or Hydrology and Hydraulics (H&H) coursework is helpful. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and willingness to learn in a fast-paced project environment. Ability to communicate clearly, ask questions, take direction, and work both independently and as part of a team. Target Pay Range $24-$30 per hour Why Pennoni?
