I am applying for the Geotechnical Engineering Intern position at Northbank Geotechnical Group. 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.
