I am pursuing an M.S. in Civil Engineering at Northeastern University, with a 3.46 GPA and a focus on geotechnical engineering. The internship’s mix of subsurface investigation, construction observation , and reporting closely matches the work I have pursued in my research and academic projects, and I am eager to contribute while learning from your engineering team. In my current role as a Geotechnical Engineering Research Assistant, I support a faculty-supervised site characterization study by reviewing boring logs and historic site files, logging samples and test-pit observations, and maintaining field forms and chain-of-custody documentation . When I found sample-labeling and incomplete field-record issues, I checked source notes with the research team and updated the controlled project documentation. That work reflects the care I bring to records that need to remain traceable and useful to the project team. My project experience also includes observing foundation and earthwork activities against provided plans, performing engineering calculations , and preparing AutoCAD plans, figures, and report exhibits. I have used GeoStudio for introductory slope stability analyses and drafted investigation summaries connecting field observations with analytical findings. My capstone work further strengthened my ability to coordinate technical reviews , present findings, and revise reports for accuracy and readability. I hold an Autodesk Certified User: AutoCAD certification and an OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety and Health certification. Northbank’s work spans the investigation and construction stages that have motivated my geotechnical studies, making this internship a particularly strong fit for my goals. I bring relevant field and documentation experience, working knowledge of AutoCAD and Microsoft Office Suite , and a willingness to travel for project assignments. I am ready to contribute as a careful, collaborative member of your team. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background can support Northbank’s project work. Sincerely, Click to edit Draw your signature below Clear Generate Signature Save X Sage Ibarra
