Overview: Edgebrook Farm is an NJ-based farm project providing interns with the opportunity to contribute to the development and improvement of a real agricultural operation. We are currently constructing animal housing (including chicken coops) and agricultural habitats like raised beds for high-profile grows, alongside our completed large barn. Edgebrook Farm is seeking motivated candidates for the Civil Engineering Internship to support projects involving land development, site grading, and water management.
Pay- In form of food
We are building a farm stand so there is potential for monetary payment in addition to goods.
This internship provides practical experience understanding how site layout, soil mechanics, and drainage systems interact within a modern farm operation. Participants will have opportunities to evaluate existing terrain, design erosion controls, and map layout expansions for future agricultural habitats.
Responsibilities:
- Evaluate site topography, soil conditions, and drainage patterns for new habitats.
- Design and optimize irrigation routing and storm water drainage systems for crop beds.
- Assist with surveying and layout mapping for chicken coops and future animal housing.
- Research sustainable land-use practices and environmental impacts of farm structures.
- Develop site plans, grading layouts, and technical erosion control documentation.
- Collaborate with construction teams to ensure structural layouts align with civil designs.
Qualifications:
- Pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
- Standing of undergraduate sophomore or higher, or current graduate student status.
- Interest in land development, hydrology, sustainable agriculture, and structural placement.
- Skills in CAD software, surveying tools, and spatial data analysis.
- Knowledge of grading, hydrology, or geotechnical basics is a plus.
Perks:
- Compensation including monetary pay, invaluable field experience, and official college credit.
- Produce privileges allowing you to take home farm vegetables, eggs, and more.
- Experience applying civil design principles directly to active, real-world land development.
