During my two years interning at Westwood, the slogan “better people, better results” rang true. I was able to learn from a team of wonderful staff and leadership that treated me as an equal from my very first day, making it the most valuable learning experience I could have asked for!

I enjoyed my internship experience in land development learning the Westwood way and industry standards for Civil/ CAD Design on land development projects.  I got exposed to several unique projects and “thrown in the deep end” to learn as much as I could during the summer.  It was very helpful to see the industry differences from what I learned in school and create building blocks for my future career.
