“I interned with RESPEC throughout the Mining & Energy division and in the laboratory. I was working on projects that I felt provided valuable information, rather than number crunching spreadsheets or organizing files. Right away, I felt like part of the RESPEC team. They encouraged and supported me to complete a Master’s Degree which was financially assisted by the RESPEC Undergraduate Research Grant. Upon graduation, I received a full-time offer that I immediately accepted. The company made me feel welcome and provided me many opportunities to grow as an Engineer. I grew up in South Dakota, so it was a blessing to be able to stay in-state to kick off my career. After 5 years with RESPEC, I’m overjoyed to continue working with this amazing company. The interesting and challenging projects, the fun culture we share, and the expertise my coworkers have keep me motivated to do my part to make the company successful.”

"Over my summer internship, I was able to grow a variety of my skills including professionalism, software use, field experience, and teamwork. My manager and mentor are always willing to support me so that I can perform tasks at my best and are truly understanding of all life's surprises when they might interfere with work. On top of making sure I have tasks that excite me and relate to my passions, the company also maintains a culture that promotes fun, friendship, and motivation within the workplace. RESPEC has proven to me that they have tons of opportunities for both personal and career growth through various tools and skilled staff members, so I am truly grateful to be a part of this awesome company!"
“Being able to work in a professional but friendly environment, seeing real software development, and being able to develop stuff on my own in this internship has been amazing! It is something that I will be able to take into my future and expand upon as I finish out college and move fully into the job space.”
“Working as an engineering intern in the Water & Environment division in New Mexico, I had the opportunity to work on different projects every day. Projects vary daily which made RESPEC a learning platform for me. I got chance a to work on different Civil Engineering software and got more efficient in Civil 3D. I love this internship and plan to continue to work for RESPEC.”
