New Hampshire Department of Transportation

“The environment of the DOT, and in particular the Bureau of Bridge Design is friendly and inviting to new employees. Coworkers have an feeling a professionalism befitting a state office, but not so much that it feels intimidating to those just starting out. People work diligently when on tasks and banter between each when between then. If I had to make up a word for it, I would call it a semi-casual working environment.”

“I enjoyed learning how each employee contributes to the DOT team. I am able to gain experience through shadowing employees throughout their daily responsibilities both in the office and in the field. I have the opportunity to create work relationships with people who have common interests and work in the field I hope to enter. Each member of the DOT has been encouraging, supportive and informative in my summer internship. In addition, my knowledge of civil engineering and highway maintenance has expanded and I will be able to use this information through the rest of my college courses as well as my future career.”
