Overview

TRC is seeking highly motivated and diverse Geo-Environmental Interns for our Summer 2026 intern program out of our Manchester or Bristol, UK Office. The UK team serves a global client-base and a broad range of project areas, with access to market-leading technical expertise in both the UK and US. The internship is based in the Manchester or Bristol office, with opportunities to travel and work with the entire UK team. We are looking for interns to join our dynamic team for a period of ten to twelve weeks – the start date is negotiable but will likely be mid to late-May 2026. The ideal candidates should be passionate about the environment, self-motivated, enthusiastic, eager to learn and contribute. This role involves working within an exciting, fast-paced and rapidly growing business. A full driving licence is essential, as fieldwork and regular site visits are a key component of the internship.

Responsibilities

During your time with us we’d like you to get involved in and gain as broad an understanding as possible of the work we do at TRC. This would involve supporting on project work from the office and going out with members of the team on site (site walkovers, ground investigations, groundwater and ground gas monitoring). Fieldwork will be a major focus, and you can expect to spend a significant portion of your time out in the field (dependent on project workloads).
