Risk & Resilience Engineering Intern (Available June 2026)

Overview

Conduct multi-hazard risk assessments and develop resilience strategies for built environment

Key Responsibilities

• risk assessment
• vulnerability analysis
• decision modeling
• automation scripts
• reporting
• hazard analysis

Tasks

-Undertake qualitative and quantitative physical risk assessments of buildings and infrastructure for multiple hazards including earthquake, flood, wind, heat, and wildfire, among others . -Perform vulnerability analysis of assets considering different types of hazards; apply advanced simulation methods, engineering calculations, precedent research, etc. -Apply best practices in risk-based decision making and adaptation planning (e.g., cost-benefit analysis, adaptation pathways). -Employ and develop automation scripts for risk models and other daily tasks. -Support the development of project deliverables including reporting, enabling digital platforms, and communicating findings to clients and stakeholders. -Undertake hazard analysis for multiple hazards, which may include climate change analysis and apply methods to incorporate climate change into hazard models. -Support the development of risk mitigation, resilience and climate adaptation strategies, when applicable, for buildings and infrastructure projects as well as for cities and communities.

Requirements
