About you
You are currently studying towards a degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering or a related discipline, and will have completed at least two years of study by summer 2027. An interest in water infrastructure, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering or construction would be beneficial.
You should have strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, good written and verbal communication skills, and a willingness to learn from others.
