The Design & Construction (D&C) unit has professional engineering oversight for geometric design elements of NYC roadways. We draw on expertise and talent of Civil Engineers, Urban Designers, Planners, Asset Managers, Inspectors, Administrators, Analysts, and others to evolve and maintain the curb geometry and street plans for all NYC's 6300+ miles of roads, create and maintain official pavement marking and concrete island plans, and oversee the application and refurbishment of NYC's 250+ million linear feet of pavement markings (stripes, messages, colored surface treatments for bus/bike/plaza, etc.).

This is an opportunity for an ambitious and motivated intern to improve NYC Streets and help achieve the Mayoral Vision Zero initiative. We are looking for an intern proficient in AutoCAD, with a basic understanding of design principles. The ability to conduct research and investigations and good communication skills are essential. The project involves maintaining and evolving the geometric design elements of NYC roadways, including curb geometry, street plans, pavement marking, and concrete island plans.

The intern will prepare drawings and details using AutoCAD, assist in conducting research and investigations related to design, and participate in the preparation of contract documents. This internship offers hands-on experience in design, urban planning, and project management. The intern will learn how to use AutoCAD in a professional setting and collaborate with a diverse team of professionals. This experience will provide a comprehensive understanding of the transportation infrastructure in New York City.
