Chemical Engineering Intern - Water (Spring/Summer 2026)

Many of the world’s top engineers and scientists come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Working throughout the hydrologic cycle, we are delivering sustainable solutions to make sure water is where it should be and available when needed. Our experts guide our work with scientific rigor, an innovative spirit, and a vision for growth. Every day, we help communities improve, reuse, and protect this precious resource for future generations. By 2025 we’re hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.

Whether a project calls for permitting and regulatory support, engineers, designers, field and construction support, or facility operators, we have the right experts to provide holistic and creative, yet practical, water solutions. Through our cost-effective strategies, we are helping clients increase their water efficiency and protect their water resources for future generations.
