Internships and Co-ops

Are you ready to apply your technical knowledge in a real-world setting?

As an Intern or a Co-op at AET you won’t be watching while others do the work. You will gain hands-on experience in a hard hat, on real construction sites, meeting face-to-face with clients, while learning from professionals at our internationally respected firm.

Every spring we seek tough hardworking students in engineering, science, and other technical fields who want to be considered for paid positions in our Construction Materials Testing (CMT) Summer Internship and Summer/Fall Cooperative Education (Co-op) programs. We accept applicants starting their freshman year through graduation. These are full-time positions with opportunities for overtime. 

You supply the thinking cap; we supply the hard hat.
