Who can apply?

  • Burns & McDonnell explicitly says its annual internships include freshmen through graduate students. Each opening still controls the eligible major, location, authorization and technical requirements.
  • The company describes work in offices, labs, construction sites and client facilities and says most roles are primarily office- or project-site based, with limited remote flexibility.
  • Sponsorship and work-authorization limitations appear in the qualifications section of each job posting, so there is no safe program-wide assumption.
Easy to miss

Freshmen are eligible for the overall program, but that does not mean every posting accepts every year or major. Apply only after checking the specific role's required qualifications.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Use a class project, volunteer role or leadership experience to show the same skill the job needs. Explain the task, your decision, the result and what you learned rather than apologizing for limited experience.

Research the selected practice and office, then prepare questions about real project responsibility, the assigned mentor and how interns receive feedback during the summer.
