Benesch is a growing, multi-disciplined planning, engineering, and professional services firm. We enhance infrastructure and communities across the country – creating spaces and providing connections in ways that make a difference.
We pride ourselves on being nimble enough to remain responsive to client needs yet large enough to offer exceptional bench strength. As a member of our team, you’ll have an opportunity to draw from those resources when you need them and, likewise, contribute your expertise when you have something to share.
At Benesch, we are looking for candidates with varied backgrounds and worldviews. Diverse ideas come from diverse people, and we are committed to offering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. If this statement resonates with you, don’t be so hard on yourself—apply for the job!
Benesch’s Summer 2025 Internship is an exciting opportunity for a talented Chicago Public Schools (CPS) high school student to spend the summer alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry working on challenging and unique local transportation projects. The CPS high school student will train alongside experienced engineers and execute purposeful hands-on work assignments in an office setting. The student intern will gain broad knowledge of cross-functional teams and exposure to different engineering disciplines, all the while creating valuable career contacts. The student intern will be assigned an experienced manager who will oversee their training, work assignments, and development in addition to the delivery of continuous real-time performance feedback.
We are looking to begin conversation with current CPS high school students regarding part-time internship opportunity in our downtown Chicago, IL office for Summer 2025. This position may also work out of the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) office on occasion.
This position will have a hybrid schedule, and when in the office, you will work in our Chicago, IL office.
