About this role
Working in Langan's Cleveland office as a geotechnical engineering intern puts you directly into the field and the office on real projects. You'll assist with site investigations—logging borings, collecting samples, performing tests—and observe construction activities to verify compliance with plans and specifications. The work spans the full cycle: from initial feasibility studies and file reviews through field data collection, calculations, report preparation, and design documentation using AutoCAD. You'll partner with experienced geotechnical engineers who will guide you through both the technical and practical sides of the discipline.
The role suits students in their junior or senior year (or pursuing an MS) with a strong foundation in civil or geotechnical engineering coursework and a 3.0+ GPA. You'll need solid AutoCAD and Microsoft Office skills, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Some travel may be required depending on project assignments. This is a hands-on internship where you'll learn geotechnical software, perform engineering analyses, and build the problem-solving skills that matter on real sites—not a desk-bound position.
