It's that time of summer when we bid farewell and extend our best wishes to our exceptional and hardworking interns as they prepare to return to the classroom. We are proud of all they have accomplished during their time with us.
Hailing from various colleges and universities across the country, our group of 14 interns collaborated closely with seasoned professionals, immersing themselves in both fieldwork and office tasks. This immersive approach allowed them to acquire invaluable real-world experience. Their involvement spanned a spectrum of activities, including contributing to design and construction engineering ventures, overseeing natural area restoration projects, and engaging in surveying tasks. Hampton, Lenzini, and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) takes immense pride in offering these enriching learning opportunities, fostering the growth of future engineers, scientists, and surveyors.
Interested in interning at HLR? Summer 2024 internship opportunities at our Elgin, Crystal Lake, Springfield, and Mt. Carmel, IL locations will be posted on the Careers page of our website this fall.
