Internship Testimonials

  • "Interning at Neel-Schaffer was honestly the best decision I ever made for my career. The hands-on experience I gained working on diverse civil engineering projects helped me identify my interests and specialization. I appreciated their flexibility and understanding of my student schedule, which allowed me to balance my work and classes. When I graduated, I was thrilled to come on full-time and keep working with the same amazing people on projects I already knew inside and out. I couldn't have asked for a smoother transition into the working world."

  • "My experience interning with Neel-Schaffer has been amazing. The company makes you feel at home and has an amazing family atmosphere. It has also been extremely helpful in gaining experience in the industry, my personal growth as a person and engineer, and helped me select a discipline for my future career with Neel-Schaffer. With all that said, I am very excited to continue gaining experience and knowledge with the company after graduation."

  • “During my internship, I was exposed to many different aspects of pre-construction, and having the opportunity to work on a variety of projects at different stages of design was very beneficial and a great learn experience. That introduction, combined with the work environment and my colleagues, all played a big role in my decision to join Neel-Schaffer full time. I now really enjoy coming to work every day and having the chance to be part of a team in which we all have a shared goal of creating better and safer communities. If you are passionate about improving your community and are interested in computer aided design and drafting, I highly recommend the Neel-Schaffer internship program.”
