Structural Engineering Intern - Praxis Engineering 

Ideas Into Action.

Location: San Luis Obispo, CA

Employment Type: Part-Time

About Praxis Engineering:

Praxis is a civil and structural engineering firm working on a diverse mix of projects across California: commercial, mixed-use, wineries and hospitality, multi-family, custom residential, and bridges. We're looking for a structural engineering intern to join our San Luis Obispo office this summer.

What you'll do:

Work alongside our structural team on active projects. Expect to:

• Draft plans and exhibits in CAD under the direction of our project engineers
• Support basic structural calculations
• Revise and update drawings as designs evolve
• Join site visits and construction-phase observations when schedules align
• Learn how agency specifications and standards shape real projects

Who we're looking for

• Sophomore or junior pursuing a degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
• Coursework in statics, strength of materials, structural analysis and CAD experience from class or a prior
• Curious, collaborative, and willing to ask questions
• Clear written and verbal communicator
• Valid Class C driver's license for occasional site visits

Why Praxis:

We're a small firm with a wide project portfolio, which means interns get real exposure, not just one narrow slice of work. You'll be mentored by licensed engineers on projects that range from custom homes to $80M+ hospitality work. For the right person, this is a pipeline to a full-time role after graduation. Flexible around your academic calendar; part-time continuation during the school year possible.
