Kick-Start Your Career with a Summer Internship at Tonkin!
A Tonkin internship isn’t just work experience—it’s an opportunity to learn from industry leaders, work on meaningful projects, and set yourself up for future success.
Each year, we look for enthusiastic students studying civil and structural to undertake practical work experience with us as an intern.
Tonkin takes interns in our metropolitan offices in Adelaide, we also take interns in our regional offices in Berri, Mount Gambier and Mildura.
After initially interning at Tonkin during her university summer break, the enthusiasm and talent that Nicola displayed quickly propelled her engineering career with Tonkin.
“The workshops and discussions we had as part of the program played a big role in forming good foundations for personal and career growth and have been vital for performing my day-to-day activities as a project leader now."
Nicola is now a Project Engineer within our Local Government team, leading her own projects, and contributes to initiatives that make a meaningful impact for the South Australian community.
