• Currently pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related engineering discipline
• Foundational understanding of civil engineering and construction principles, with interest in infrastructure and heavy civil works
• Ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation; familiarity with AutoCAD or similar tools is an advantage
