ESA is excited to announce our Florida Environmental Internship - Fall 2026 program. Our Florida internship program will run for approximately four months, starting in August 2026. This variable part-time paid opportunity offers 12 to 24 hours per week. Our summer internship program is intended to promote diversity in the environmental, engineering, and planning fields by creating opportunities for students from groups historically under-represented in this business sector, including but not limited to those students who represent Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as veterans, disabled individuals, and/or students who are first in their families to go to college.

Candidates must be able to commit to working 12-24 hours a week. Priority will be given to candidates who can commit to working in person or hybrid from our Tampa, Florida ESA Office for optimized engagement and hands-on training/mentorship opportunities. Qualified candidates must be currently in university and/or recent graduates (including grad students).

While cover letters are not required, a tailored cover letter stating your area of interest and why you're interested in an internship with ESA can be very helpful.
