BUILD YOUR CAREER WHERE COLLABORATION HAPPENS
You’ll work on meaningful projects alongside multidisciplinary teams — with the support, flexibility, and leadership access to grow your career.
What It’s Like to Work Here
At Ackerman-Estvold, multi-disciplinary teams work under one roof. That means real collaboration — not endless meetings or handoffs. When you can walk down the hall and work directly with architects, engineers, surveyors, and construction professionals, better ideas happen faster.
Curious? Here’s what your day might look like.
Whether you start early or prefer a later morning, you’ll arrive at the office, grab a coffee or your favorite beverage (yes, the coffee is always on), catch up with teammates, and check in on company updates and events that keep you connected. You’ll settle into your workspace, review email and internal communications, and dive into meaningful work.
We offer flexible scheduling, with supervisor approval, because we understand that work and life don’t always run on the same clock. We work hourly, which means you’re compensated for every hour you put in beyond a 40-hour week. There will be busy days — the kind that come with critical infrastructure projects, community improvements, and exciting new developments — but your time is valued and recognized.
Here, you’re not just completing tasks. You’ll have the opportunity to own the process, contribute ideas, and see your work make a real impact in the communities we serve. Unlike large corporate firms, you’re not just a number — your voice matters.
And you’re never on your own. Our leadership team is on-site and accessible, ready to provide guidance, share expertise, and support your growth as you take on new challenges.

We know that doing your best work requires the right support. Along with meaningful projects and a collaborative team environment, we offer a benefits package designed to support your professional growth and your life beyond the office.

INTERNSHIPS LEAD TO CAREERS
We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with high schools and universities throughout the region, allowing us to recruit and hire top-notch interns. Our program is built around gaining real-life experience and taking learning beyond the classroom. From May-August you’ll have an opportunity to make an impact. You’ll work side by side professional engineers and architects to oversee the design and construction of projects in your community. You’ll grow and make a difference in our organization, and in yourself.
Internships will be advertised here each spring, with positions being filled by early April. If you’re interested in taking your studies outside the classroom, give us a call, apply online, and swing by our booth at a career fair near you!
