Internship

We're looking for a motivated civil engineering student who wants real project experience, not busywork. At MAS, interns work alongside experienced Professional Engineers on active water, wastewater, drainage, roadway, utility, and site development projects, so you won't be parked on one narrow task for a semester. One week you might be marking up a water line replacement, the next running quantity takeoffs for a storm drainage system or riding along on a construction observation visit. You'll finish with plan sheets you actually helped produce and a clear picture of what civil engineering looks like outside the classroom.

What You'll Work On

Municipal infrastructure and private development projects throughout North Texas, including:

• Water distribution systems

• Sanitary sewer collection systems

• Storm drainage systems

• Roadway and paving improvements

• Site development and grading

• Utility infrastructure improvements

• Municipal Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects

Responsibilities

• Assist engineers with construction plan production in AutoCAD Civil 3D

• Support drafting of grading plans, utility layouts, profiles, and construction details

• Help with engineering calculations, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimate backup

• Organize project files, plan sets, and submittal documentation

• Research municipal design standards, utility requirements, and permitting criteria

• Assist with responses to plan review comments

• Participate in occasional field visits and construction observations

• Provide general project support across multiple active jobs

What You'll Learn

• Civil 3D drafting and plan production in a professional environment

• How water, wastewater, drainage, roadway, and site development designs come together

• How municipal review, agency permitting, and utility coordination actually work

• Construction cost estimating fundamentals

• How to communicate with project managers, surveyors, agencies, and clients

• What the day-to-day work of a practicing civil engineer really looks like

Qualifications Required

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program in Civil Engineering at an ABET-accredited university (sophomore standing or above)

• Coursework in civil engineering fundamentals such as hydraulics, soils, surveying, or transportation

• Familiarity with AutoCAD, or the willingness to learn Civil 3D quickly

• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills

• Dependable, curious, and comfortable asking questions

Preferred

• Exposure to AutoCAD Civil 3D through coursework, a previous internship, or self-study

• Interest in municipal infrastructure or land development

• Familiarity with North Texas municipal design standards

• Plans to sit for the FE exam and pursue EIT certification

• Valid driver's license for occasional field visits

Why Intern at MAS?

At MAS Consulting Engineers, interns are part of the team. You'll sit with the engineers doing the work, attend project meetings, and receive assignments that contribute to real deliverables. Our size means your questions get answered by the person who designed the system rather than routed through three layers of management.

We believe the best engineers are developed through mentorship, hands-on experience, and meaningful responsibility. That philosophy starts at the internship level. The skills you build here, including Civil 3D proficiency, plan reading, and agency coordination, are the same ones firms look for when hiring EITs after graduation.

Internship Details

• Paid internship

• Flexible scheduling around class commitments during the fall and spring semesters, with full-time hours available in the summer

• Mentorship from licensed Professional Engineers

• Modern office located in downtown Fort Worth

• Potential pathway to a full-time EIT position after graduation for interns who are a strong fit
