As our summer internship program wraps up, we’re proud to reflect on the hands-on experience our interns gain from day one. Whether it’s supervising field crews or diving into the technical details of a project, our interns are immersed in real-world engineering work that builds both skill and confidence. Ryan Wheeler gained experience working with

“As an Electrical Engineering major, I had very little knowledge about civil engineering when I first started my internship at KL Engineering,” shared Tanner Braatz, reflecting on his experience this summer. At KL Engineering, we believe it’s important for future engineers to explore the full spectrum of civil engineering. Tanner embraced this opportunity with enthusiasm
