Dewberry Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: October 2026

Dewberry's 2027 internships are open now. The Fairfax, Virginia engineering and design firm had 68 intern postings live on its iCIMS board on 26 October 2026, 67 for summer 2027 and one for spring 2027, across 14 states. The first went up on 21 July 2026 and the latest on 7 October. Forty postings print an hourly range of $18.75 to $29.75 (one prints $17.75 to $28.75), and 28 print none. No posting states a closing date or a GPA, and Dewberry says it won't sponsor work authorization. In plain words, you apply this fall to intern in summer 2027.

Quick Facts

Postings are open with no closing date and have been going up since July, so apply now to the posting in your city, and check that your degree matches its education line.

Externships are short, remote programs where you finish a real project for a real company, most commonly over 8 weeks at 5 to 10 hours a week, so one can run alongside your Dewberry application. None is a civil design Externship, so the fit is adjacent: the ARCeH Data Analytics Externship builds the data skills behind environmental and GIS work, and the Amazon Fulfillment Center Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship fits project and construction operations.

What Is a Dewberry Internship?

A Dewberry internship is a paid, location-specific summer position at Dewberry, the Fairfax, Virginia firm that provides engineering, architecture, construction, environmental, survey and geospatial services. Its About page lists 2,500+ employees, 50+ locations, $763.00 million in 2025 revenue and a #35 ranking on ENR's Top 500 Design Firms (the page doesn't give the ranking year). Its postings describe a summer program where interns "are assigned meaningful work" on projects similar to what a full-time employee would handle. Some postings sit under MEPS South, Dewberry's mechanical and electrical arm, and Dewberry here means the engineering firm, not the Dewberry Group real estate company.

When Do Dewberry Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

Dewberry posts summer interns early and keeps adding. Its 67 summer 2027 postings went up between 21 July and 7 October 2026: 5 in July, 12 in August, 46 in September and 5 in October. That puts the first posting about 11 months ahead of a summer 2027 start and the September bulk about 8 to 9 months ahead, assuming a June start, which Dewberry hasn't confirmed. None prints a closing date. We couldn't read prior-cycle posting dates, so the summer 2028 window is a projection from one cycle.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

Dewberry's postings are rolling in practice: the first, from 21 July, was still open on 26 October, and none prints a closing date. We can't see how many applications each gets, but each posting is a single office and often a single seat, so a posting in your city can fill while others stay open. Apply to the posting in the office you want now, with the tools it names in your resume, rather than waiting for a deadline that isn't printed.

Which Dewberry Internship Programs Should You Target?

All 68 postings are tied to an office. Titles are grouped below by discipline, with example offices from the live board.

Search the Dewberry board for "Intern" to see each posting's education line, location and pay range. Two of the 68 postings are under the MEPS South brand.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

Education requirements are set per posting, so read the line on the one you want.

• Degree: most postings require current pursuit of a bachelor's degree in the named field, such as civil, mechanical or electrical engineering, architectural engineering or construction management. A few accept an associate degree in surveying, civil engineering, GIS or planning.

• GPA: none of the 68 postings states a minimum.

• Work authorization: postings state that Dewberry won't sponsor new applicants for work authorization, so you need authorization that doesn't depend on Dewberry.

• Tools: most postings ask for CADD experience (AutoCAD or MicroStation), and many name Civil 3D and Microsoft Office.

• Housing: 13 postings say a housing stipend may be provided for eligible candidates, and 11 say none is provided; relocation assistance is listed as no on the three postings we opened in full.

Do You Need Prior Internship Experience?

It helps but isn't required. Prior internship experience is listed as preferred in 36 of the 68 postings, not required. Dewberry's postings also invite people who don't meet every requirement to apply anyway, so a strong match on the degree and the CAD tools matters more than a long resume.

What Skills Does Dewberry Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

Dewberry's postings are specific about tools. AutoCAD appears in 56 of the 68, written and verbal communication in 45 and Microsoft Office in 17. MicroStation, Civil 3D and GIS software each appear in 12 or 13, and hydraulic modeling in seven. The chart counts postings that name each skill, so one posting can count in several rows. Prior internship experience is preferred in 36.

How Is Demand for Civil Engineering Interns Moving Right Now?

Build These Skills Before You Apply

Each row maps a requirement in Dewberry's postings to a remote Externship. None is a civil design Externship, so these build adjacent skills: data, analysis and operations.

None of these Externships is affiliated with Dewberry. Most run about 8 weeks, so one started in November can finish before the spring.

What Is the Dewberry Application and Interview Process Like?

Dewberry's postings describe how to apply and what follows an offer, but not its interview rounds.

1. Find your posting. Search "Intern" on Dewberry's iCIMS board and filter by the office and discipline you want; each posting is a separate application.

2. Apply on iCIMS. Attach a resume that names the CAD tools and software the posting lists.

3. Interviews. Dewberry hasn't published its rounds or any assessment, and we found no first-hand intern account of them.

4. After an offer. Only recipients of an offer go through background screening, according to the postings.

5. Questions. The careers page gives CollegeRecruiting@dewberry.com for questions.

What We Found on Reddit

Nothing we can use as intern evidence. The Reddit threads we found are from experienced engineers discussing full-time work at Dewberry, with mixed opinions on benefits and culture, and none describes the intern program. We'd rather show no quotes than stretch them.

How Do You Stand Out for a Dewberry Internship?

Match the posting exactly: the degree line, your location and the tools it names. Put AutoCAD, MicroStation or Civil 3D on your resume with a project that used them, because those appear in most postings. Prior internship experience is preferred in more than half, so any engineering or survey work counts. Email CollegeRecruiting@dewberry.com with a specific question, as the careers page invites. Dewberry says many interns return for multiple terms, but publishes no conversion rate.

What are the requirements for a Dewberry internship?

Each posting names its own degree line, usually a bachelor's degree in progress in a field like civil, mechanical or electrical engineering. None states a GPA minimum. Dewberry says it won't sponsor new applicants for work authorization, so you need authorization that doesn't depend on the company.

Does Dewberry provide housing for interns?

Not reliably. Thirteen postings say a housing stipend may be provided for eligible candidates, and eleven say none is provided, including the spring 2027 posting in Parsippany, where local candidates are preferred. Relocation assistance is listed as no on the three postings we opened in full, so check the line.

Does Dewberry offer a spring internship?

One posting does. A Water/Wastewater Engineering Intern role in Parsippany, New Jersey, posted September 1, 2026, is for spring 2027, requires a civil engineering degree in progress, and prefers local candidates with no housing stipend. Every other intern posting we found is for summer 2027.

Do Dewberry interns get full-time offers?

Dewberry's careers page says many interns return for multiple terms and continue as full-time employees after graduation, and its board also lists entry-level roles for graduates. It doesn't publish a conversion rate, so ask about full-time paths in your interview.

Dewberry's 68 intern postings are open now with no closing date, so apply to the posting in your city this month. A remote Externship can give you a finished data or operations project to discuss in the interview.
