  • Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively, take initiative, and learn increasingly complex technical concepts.
  • Ability to balance multiple assignments in a professional, fast-paced environment.

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Apply classroom concepts to real-world transit vehicles, technologies, and engineering projects.
  • Work alongside experienced engineering and transportation professionals.
  • Build valuable skills in AutoCAD, data analysis, technical reporting, and project support.
  • Gain exposure to emerging fleet technologies and the future of public transportation.
  • Develop your professional network and explore career opportunities in engineering and the transportation industry.
