This position may also require the successful candidate to evaluate, design, estimate, and provide project management of electric and gas facilities at various levels of complexity. This is a 12-week summer internship program with tentative dates from May 11, 2026 to August 7, 2026, for students entering their sophomore, junior or senior year in fall 2026.
