About the role

CDM Smith is seeking an intern to join the Transportation Advisory Services Team, with preferred locations in Chicago, Austin, or Bellevue. You will help deliver integrated strategic communications products and services to transportation clients including DOTs and planning agencies. Enthusiasm, writing skills, and the ability to meet deadlines are essential. You will craft collateral, manage websites and social content, and support meetings and client events.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
