Overview

On this page you can find information on internships and graduation places that are more tailored to Geo Engineering students. For each of our sponsors we wrote down a short company description, an update on the current situation regarding COVID-19 and obtaining an internship place, and contact details of the people responsible. When new information is available we will update this page.

Witteveen+Bos

‘The geotechnical engineers of Witteveen+Bos do all kinds of work tasks. They work on big and complex infrastructure and hydraulic projects. Some examples of these projects are the North-Southline in Amsterdam, the Oosterweel connection in Antwerp and the renovation of the Afsluitdijk. It depends on the project what kind of role they partake in (client/ contractor). Most of the time they do the design tasks (making calculations and giving advise on tunnel cross sections, cofferdams, foundations, geotechnical structures), but they also give support during construction and they check designs of other companies. They work a lot in multidisciplinary project teams, together with the government, contractors and engineering companies.’

It is still possible to do an internship or graduate at Witteveen+Bos. Because of corona it is a bit more difficult to get to know the company and get the desired supervision, but they try their best to still make it happen. The offices are opened, but limited. They are foremost interested in students who like to graduate at their company. If you’re interested in doing an internship or graduating at Witteveen+Bos, you can best contact Richard de Nijs. He can make sure you get a graduation thesis that is well suited for you.

CRUX

‘CRUX is an independent geotechnical consulting agency and provides high-quality advice in the field of geotechnical engineering, geohydrology, ground and settlement risk assessment.
By bundling these consultancy services with our expertise in monitoring, ground research and ground improvement techniques, we are truly capable of offering complete and, where necessary, innovative geotechnical design solutions.
CRUX is also leading in the field of performing analyses of settlement risk. For example, a quantitative risk analysis of expected displacements, vibrations and groundwater level changes at the site of the adjacent structures can be done prior to the work. But we can also investigate the causality of (construction) damage that has already occurred.’

Their offices are still opened. Employees visit the office 2 to 3 times a week, with rotation between employees who is present.

For opportunities for an internship you can best contact Anita Mulder.

At the moment they are still hiring interns and students who want to graduate at Arcadis. Most of the time interns start in September or February, but there are also possibilities to start in another month. Because of the current situation, there is a lot of working from home.

At the moment there are no places available specifically for Geo Engineering students. Sometimes in reality there is more possible than the job offers that are on the website. So it is advised to send an open internship application via www.werkenbijarcadis.nl when you’re interested. All job applications go via the before mentioned website, but for questions you can contact Rosanne Melissen.
