Structural Engineering Intern
Location: 565 E. Swedesford Road, Suite 300, Wayne, PA 19087
As a Structural Engineering Intern at Walker Consultants, you will design some of the largest structures in the world including resort, casino, and airport parking structures. Parking structures are similar to both bridges and buildings and require skill in both structural design and materials science due to aesthetics, long spans, thermal movements, and durability challenges. These structures endure the elements with every framing member exposed to public view. You will be a member of an internal multi-disciplinary team consisting of architects, engineers, planners, and restoration professionals and will report directly to the Director of Design, Project Manager, or Project Engineer.
