NDOT hiring for paid summer internships

The Nevada Department of Transportation is looking ahead to the summer road construction season by accepting applications through February for paid summer internships.

The internship program allows students to gain real-life engineering and construction experience with on-the-job training in civil and environmental engineering, including highway construction, maintenance, surveying, and asset management, as well as traffic engineering, ADA compliance and civil rights, environmental stewardship, and bridge inspection.

The internships take place May through August 2022 and pay up to $19 per hour, depending on education and experience.

Applications are being accepted for positions in Carson City, Las Vegas, Reno, Elko, Ely, Tonopah and Winnemucca through Feb. 28, although some internship positions may close sooner if many qualified applicants apply.

Applications can be submitted by searching “Public Service Intern” at careers.nv.gov. Applicants must be a high school graduate and currently enrolled in a college degree program.

More than 60 students took part in the NDOT internship program in previous years, including administrative office roles. All interns will follow COVID-related health safety protocol.

With a mission to help keep Nevada safe and connected, NDOT builds, operates and maintains more than 5,000 miles of state roads and approximately 1,200 bridges.
