Civil Engineering Intern - 2027

Company Description About KPFF At KPFF, we’re more than engineers—we’re a team of collaborators, problem-solvers, and innovators who thrive on designing creative solutions for projects of all scales. With 1,500+ employees across 35 offices, we have the resources of a large firm, but each office runs independently with its own culture and specialties—meaning you’ll get the flexibility and feel of a small firm backed by the strength of a national leader. Our Portland Civil + Survey office (with teammates in Eugene and DC) is home to 104 people, including 46 PEs and 4 PLSs. Fun fact: more than 25% of our staff are former interns!

Our Civil practice focuses on

Site development, land use, master planning Public utility and roadway infrastructure Streetscape and green street design, innovative stormwater management Bike and pedestrian pathways, parks, trails

Our Survey practice includes

Boundary staking, topo surveying, and construction layout ALTA/NSPS land title surveying Drone missions and building inspections We work on a wide range of projects, from schools, healthcare facilities, roadway and streets, and national parks to zoos, museums, and international developments, all with a focus on sustainable design. But KPFF isn’t just about projects—it’s about people. We foster strong connections through team sports (indoor soccer, summer softball) and regular social events. Our culture is family-friendly, collaborative, and business casual, with plenty of opportunities for both personal and professional growth. To be considered for this paid internship, please include a cover letter with your resume. All applications must be completed through this online process. [No phone inquiries, please]
