We proudly participate in students’ educational and professional development. We give interns a glimpse into the civil and structural engineering profession and mentor them to develop transferable skillsets. At KPFF, interns can find themselves collaborating with other engineers who are excited to share their professional experience. Each intern will walk away with a unique story to tell. We are looking for curious individuals who are willing to learn about engineering, consulting, and the construction industry. 

Our structural team consists of structural engineers working in a vast array of building design fields, such as high-rise towers, office buildings, hospitals and medical centers, parking garages, and higher education buildings, using a variety of building materials including steel, concrete, and mass timber.
