About the role

Evanston Engineering Intern Evanston, ILDescriptionThe Grumman|Butkus Associates (GBA) Internship Program offers engineering students an opportunity for hands-on experience with a wide array of projects from building energy studies to MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) design to commissioning services. At the start of the internship, participants are run through a lecture series by GBA's subject matter experts and trained on essential building design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, etc.) with the goal of integrating interns into active projects.

Interns will be exposed to the full range of services, career paths, and project types within GBA's portfolio and sometimes beyond.

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.
