“I am surrounded by teammates who want me to succeed, who have a drive to complete projects well, and who are willing to help when I need it. I do my best to return the favor to everyone I work with. In this way, we all make each other better.”

Lucas Adrian, EIT

Orange, Civil Analyst - Aviation
“Kimley-Horn encourages employees to voice their aspirations and pursue their passions. When I was an intern, I spoke up about my interest in our Solar/Energy practice, and as a result, I had the opportunity to work with the Solar team for two weeks during my summer internship—which would not have been possible without my willingness to speak up about my interests or the firm’s support.”

Julia Chang, EIT

Austin East, Civil Analyst - Aviation
“I had the opportunity to work on a variety of transportation related projects in my young career and gravitated towards transportation design with a focus on traffic signals, intersection safety, and multimodal planning and design. I’ve grown my practice in Denver since 2016 serving public and private clients across the State of Colorado and the Country.”

Matt Ciarkowski, PE

Denver Downtown, Civil Engineer - Transportation
“During my internship with Kimley-Horn, I was surrounded by people who took the time to teach me as much information as possible. It was an environment where I could ask anyone questions about projects, design, and the way the company operates. It allowed me to have a summer full of opportunities and new understandings, confirming my decision to come back and join full time.”

Will Deal, EIT

Dallas Downtown, Civil Analyst
- Development Services
“During my internship, I contributed to a variety of impactful projects—reimagining a church parking to be more functional and financially viable, screening massive solar farms, and activating underutilized spaces to boost local economies while keeping people safe. Now, I continue this work in a full-time role, driven by the same values that brought me here.”

Melissa Dominguez

Raleigh - Landscape Architect
“During my internship, I was asked to teach someone how to use Inter-Connected Pond Routing, a hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software commonly used for projects in Florida. It felt great to help, but more importantly, it reflected how much I learned from my team. I began my internship not knowing anything about ICPR, and by the end, I was confident enough to teach others.”

Diego Pena, EI

Fort Lauderdale, Civil Analyst - Surface Water
“Internships at Kimley-Horn are structured so that you can make meaningful contributions to your teams, connect with others in your office, build a network of peers with interns from around the region, and provide a holistic view of what you can expect when you first graduate from college.”

Brandon Robinson, PE

Mesa, Civil Engineer - Aviation
“My CAD skills improved significantly during my internship—which allowed me to jump right back in when I returned full-time since I had already started to learn the ropes. Additionally, as an intern, I learned that everyone is valued and contributes significantly to the team.”

Lizzy Schmoll, PE

Philadelphia Suburban, Civil Engineer - Development Services
