The role – what you’ll do

Barr is seeking an environmental intern to join its Ann Arbor office part-time during the academic term (January–May, 8–12 hours/week) with the opportunity to continue full-time over the summer. This intern will conduct routine monitoring at a project site and will have opportunities to undertake challenging and progressive work on projects related to the evaluation and remediation of contaminated sites. Fieldwork opportunities for this position will include some out-of-town travel.

During the academic term, most hours will support odor-related air quality monitoring projects. You’ll typically work 2–3 shifts per week (about 8–12 hours); initial training will include a few morning shifts, and ongoing scheduling may include some evenings or weekends. Candidates within a commutable distance to Ann Arbor are preferred, given the early/late shifts.

In the summer (full-time), you’ll broaden your experience across a variety of efforts, while continuing to support odor monitoring projects as needed. Work during the summer will include challenging and progressive work on projects related to the evaluation and remediation of contaminated sites. Assignments may include working as an individual or as part of a project team to assist with on-site investigations of contaminated soil, vapor, sediment, and groundwater; environmental site assessments; construction observation; engineering calculations; data summary tables and spreadsheets; and technical reports. You’ll work closely with project managers and technical staff and gain practical exposure to how environmental consulting projects run day to day.

The ideal candidate for this position is a clear and confident communicator who thrives in collaborative and independent work environments. They are adaptable, organized, proactive, eager to learn, and comfortable asking thoughtful questions. They bring a high level of attention to detail and take ownership of assigned tasks in dynamic field and office conditions. They demonstrate reliability, safety awareness, and a growth mindset as they build their technical skills and professional judgment. Above all, they value teamwork, quality, and integrity in delivering impactful environmental solutions.

Your impact – key responsibilities

Technical knowledge: apply foundational engineering/science principles to support site investigations, environmental sampling, and data collection. Assist in the analysis of environmental data and contribute to the development of remediation approaches.

Interpersonal savvy: effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and clients to align technical work with project objectives while fostering strong, productive working relationships.

About the opportunity

Timeline: This internship runs January–August on a part-time basis (8–12 hours per week) during the academic term, with the option to continue full-time over the summer. Start/end dates are flexible to accommodate class schedules, finals, and holidays.
Compensation: anticipated range of $22.66–28.90 hourly. Compensation will vary based on relevant experience, education, skill level, and other compensable factors. This position is classified as non-exempt (hourly) under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Hybrid: a hybrid work arrangement may be considered for this position. A hybrid work arrangement refers to splitting time worked between a Barr office and a home office. This position is based out of Barr’s Ann Arbor, Michigan, office.
Travel expectation: willingness to travel and periodically adjust personal schedule to meet project needs (up to 50–70% travel and fieldwork possible; project needs will vary).
Work environment: ability to work in locations that may feature rough terrain typical of construction sites and may also require entering and working in facilities that include limited accessibility, moving machinery, and other conditions typical of industrial facilities.
