Intern 2027: Environmental Engineer or Scientist (P0)

We are delighted to announce the third year of our successful internship program. Join Locus Environmental this summer to build your resume with hands-on experience in environmental consulting. This opening is for full-time interns from May/June through August/September 2027. The candidates will work on a variety of projects pending client demand and may include Phase I and II environmental site assessments, site reconnaissance, environmental sampling (indoor air, soil gas, groundwater), waste management, environmental data processing and evaluation, oversight of third-party maintenance activities at remediation systems, and reporting. The internship program is expected to include two interns to work collaboratively to maintain progress on client projects during competing summer demands of more senior staff. The candidates will be supportive team members contributing to our environmental services. The candidates will work out of the office in Santa Clara, CA.

This position offers a positive community environment and exceptional variety of environmental work for self-motivated individuals and independent thinkers. You will contribute to technical writing, environmental field sampling (groundwater, soil, soil gas, indoor air, stormwater, treatment system discharge), project team meetings, work plan implementation, and direct communication with the CEO and Directors. We value our interns, and our interns express back to us their positive career development and resume building experiences in this position.
