Developing the next generation of construction professionals remains a priority for contractors as the industry works to address long-term workforce needs. FlatironDragados is continuing its annual summer internship program, providing students and recent graduates with hands-on experience across heavy civil infrastructure projects in the United States and Canada.
The 2026 internship program places participants on active construction sites, in engineering offices and alongside project delivery teams.
Interns are introduced to both field operations and office-based functions, allowing them to gain exposure to the planning, engineering and construction processes involved in delivering complex transportation and infrastructure projects.
According to FlatironDragados, participants are given meaningful responsibilities while working with experienced professionals throughout the program.
The internship is intended to help students and recent graduates develop practical skills while gaining insight into careers in heavy civil construction.
By providing real-world project experience and opportunities to collaborate with industry professionals, the program supports workforce development efforts and prepares future engineers and construction managers for careers in infrastructure delivery.
For construction owners and contractors, internship programs play an important role in strengthening the industry's talent pipeline. Early exposure to project delivery, engineering and field operations helps prepare future professionals to support increasingly complex infrastructure projects while addressing ongoing workforce development needs.
