Electrical Engineer Internship (Nov 2024)

Want to bring ideas to life? 

This is a very exciting time for you - full of endless possibilities. It is important to choose a company whose purpose aligns with your own, a place where you can build your skills, collaborate with industry experts and leaders, work with role models who support you in delivering real projects, and explore various career pathways. Aurecon’s paid Summer Internship Program has all that covered and more.    

Choosing a career path as an undergraduate can be challenging. While you may have an interest in a particular area, you sometimes don’t know which path to follow until you’ve had some practical work experience. In our paid internship programme, you will be placed in a technical field of your choice (where possible) for approximately three months to gain experience in that field and help you decide if it is right for you.   

Aurecon’s internship programme coincides with the university summer break. At the end of the experience, we give our internship students structured feedback on their performance to assist in their professional development.
