The City of Tustin’s Public Works Department is seeking two motivated, enthusiastic, and eager-to-learn individuals to join our Engineering Division as Engineering Interns. This year-round internship is an excellent opportunity to contribute to public infrastructure projects from conception to completion and gain hands-on experience in the field. Under direct supervision, the Engineering Interns will perform a variety of entry-level engineering tasks to support the design and construction phase of projects.\nTo be considered, applicants are required to submit either a web-generated unofficial transcript or a scanned copy of an official transcript.\nGiven that this is a part-time, at-will, non-benefitted position, hours will be limited to less than 1,000 hours per fiscal year. Hours worked may vary significantly from week to week.\nTHE IDEAL CANDIDATE :\nThe ideal candidate is a current student pursuing a degree in Civil, Traffic/Transportation, or Environmental Engineering, or a recent graduate in one of these fields, who is eager to apply their academic knowledge in a real-world municipal engineering environment. Strong candidates will demonstrate initiative, curiosity, sound problem-solving and communication skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.\nThe successful candidate will be interested in gaining hands-on experience with public infrastructure projects through a variety of assignments that may include engineering research and analysis, field inspections, GIS mapping, preparation of drawings and estimates, development and permit review, and construction-related activities. An interest in public service and a desire to understand how engineering projects move through the project life cycle, from planning and design through construction and completion, are highly desirable.\nWHY TUSTIN ENGINEERING?\nWhile much of Orange County is largely built out, Tustin offers a unique combination of new development, redevelopment, established infrastructure, and a municipally operated water system. This gives Engineering Interns the opportunity to gain exposure to a broad range of municipal engineering work within a single agency. As a full-service city, Tustin’s engineering team is delivering projects that are shaping the community’s future. From transportation and pedestrian improvements to water, storm drain, roadway, park, and public facility projects, interns can gain insight into the diverse infrastructure needs of both established neighborhoods, including Old Town, and the growing Tustin Legacy community.\nTHE SELECTION PROCESS :\nApplication materials will be carefully reviewed to identify candidates who meet the minimum qualifications for the position. Candidates who are determined by subject matter experts to be the best qualified for the vacancies will be invited to complete aone-way video interview.

Applications will be formally reviewed approximately every two (2) to three (3) weeks, beginning November 2. Dates are tentative and may change if necessary. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply promptly. \nExamples of Duties\nAs a part-time Engineering Intern, incumbents will perform a wide variety of duties.
