No immediate vacancy, but we are always on the lookout for talented students to join our Transportation engineering team. We are currently looking for students to join during the fall 2025 semester.

Woolpert, Inc. is a cutting-edge national architecture, engineering and geospatial (AEG) firm that delivers value to clients by blending site and architectural design excellence with innovative technology and geospatial applications. Woolpert is certified as an Employer of Choice by Great Place To Work. We believe great companies are built from exceptional people and amazing clients.

The Transportation Intern will work alongside the Woolpert Transportation teams on a variety of design elements to support the roadway, bridge, traffic, and planning aspects of projects. These could be designs for DOT, municipalities, the federal government, or the private sector.
