Civil Engineering InternPosition Overview
Civil Engineering Intern – Summer 2027
Watershed Geo is a global company headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, that develops intellectual property and provides technical solutions for ongoing problematic environmental and renewable energy infrastructure. Watershed Geo is majority owned by Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, and has experienced solid growth in recent years because of their cutting-edge technologies.
We are seeking a motivated and curious Civil Engineering Intern for a rotational, immersive internship experience designed to provide broad exposure across Watershed Geo’s business. Rather than supporting a single team, interns will spend varying amounts of time working alongside and learning from Engineering, Research & Development, Sales, Field Operations, and business operations/fulfillment. This role provides hands-on experience with real engineering and technology-driven projects while offering a holistic view of how solutions are developed, sold, delivered, and supported—giving interns insight into how a growing company operates end-to-end, rather than functioning as a small part of a large organization.
- Duration: 10–12 weeks (Summer 2027)
- Location: Alpharetta, GA or Chattanooga, TN (in-person preferred)
- Compensation: Paid internship (Hourly)
- Mentorship, professional development, and capstone presentation at end of program.
Key Responsibilities
- Rotate through multiple departments to gain hands-on exposure to the full lifecycle of Watershed Geo’s technologies.
- Support engineering teams with design reviews, testing, data collection, and technical documentation.
- Spend time with inside and outside sales teams to understand solution development and customer engagement.
- Participate in field operations to observe real-world application of engineered solutions.
- Assist research & development teams with product testing and innovation initiatives.
- Engage with business operations and fulfillment teams to understand project coordination and execution.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on special projects.
Qualifications:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil, Environmental, Mechanical, or a related Engineering field.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
- Exposure to engineering or design software (AutoCAD®, GIS, etc.) is a plus.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work both independently and in a team environment.
