PURPOSE & IMPACT Nabors’ Internship Program provides students with meaningful, role-based experience that connects academic learning to business and operational priorities. The Intern - Civil Engineer supports the Engineering team through defined civil and structural engineering assignments, project work, and day-to-day contributions while participating in structured learning, networking, and professional development activities. The role supports safe, code-conscious design and documentation for drilling-rig, facility, and equipment-support projects while building practical capability in engineering analysis, drawings, project documentation, and cross-functional coordination.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
• Currently enrolled in an accredited college or university pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Basic knowledge of civil and structural engineering fundamentals, engineering drawings, calculations, materials, and construction practices through coursework or project experience.
• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and ability to learn AutoCAD, Solidworks Simulation, Risa or SAFI structural analysis software, or comparable engineering tools.
• Ability to communicate professionally, manage assigned priorities, and work effectively in a team environment.
• Ability to follow assigned safety requirements, specifications, and engineering standards and seek review when work exceeds assigned authority.
• Work authorization and any minimum age, driving, safety, or site-access requirements applicable to the assignment and location.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS The following are valued but not required. Candidates demonstrating equivalent skills through alternative pathways may be considered.
• Coursework, academic design, research, student organization, internship, co-op, or work experience related to civil or structural engineering.
• Exposure to AutoCAD, Risa3D, SAFI, Solidworks Simulation, three-dimensional modeling, or spreadsheet-based engineering calculations.
• Familiarity with industrial facilities, heavy equipment, drilling rigs, steel structures, welding, construction, or applicable engineering codes.
• Experience preparing technical drawings, quantity takeoffs, scopes, reports, presentations, or field inspection records.
• Demonstrated problem solving, attention to detail, initiative, and interest in the energy or industrial services sector.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & WORKING CONDITIONS This position is expected to work 40 hours per week for approximately 10.5 weeks. Work is performed primarily in a professional office and engineering environment and may include field assignments at fabrication yards, industrial facilities, or drilling-rig locations. Field activities may require use of personal protective equipment (PPE), climbing stairs or access structures, bending, reaching, walking on uneven surfaces, and exposure to noise, weather, moving equipment, grease, oil, dust, and temperature changes. The role may occasionally require lifting or moving items up to 25 pounds and limited travel for project support. The position must follow all applicable Nabors safety, security, confidentiality, and site requirements. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals to perform the essential functions.
