Job Description
Surveying Internship – 2022
We are seeking 1 student for a Summer internship position with our Survey Group in Portland, which runs May-August or June-September (depending on the student’s school schedule). A successful intern in our program is someone who enjoys being challenged -- you will work on real projects starting on day one! You will have opportunities to work on a crew out in the field and assist our Survey Office Technicians with CAD, performing a variety of tasks and drawing from the experience and resources of all the professionals in the firm.

*Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Oregon state’s workplace mandates, our physical office is currently closed and all employees are working remotely. We were successful with remote-based internships in 2020 and 2021. We are confident this environment will continue to be effective for our 2022 interns. If/when the office can re-open, your internship could include time in the office.

Qualifications

• Currently-enrolled college student at a junior or senior level with career aspirations in Surveying and/or Geomatics
• Available to work full-time (40 hours per week; Monday-Friday) Pay = $20/hour
• Effective communication skills and able to work effectively in a team environment
• Able to lift up to 70 lbs.
• Able to stand or walk for several hours (may occasionally encounter challenging terrain)

We plan to review resumes and contact qualified applicants in early-March to schedule virtual interviews, with the goal to finalize the internship decisions by mid-March. To be considered for this paid internship, please include a cover letter with your resume.

No phone inquiries, please.
