Internships - Summer 2015

An internship with LGWI will allow you to build upon your experience and  your service will mean that additional communities in Latin America will have potable water, sanitation or irrigation and lives will be saved.The places we work are among the most stunningly beautiful places in the world.  We work with amazing hard working and welcoming people. This experience will change your life forever.


LGWI is open to receiving applications from anyone who is interested in applying. However, preference will be given to those who meet these standards:

  • Summer 2015 internship is planned for June-July 2015
  • Engineering School Senior or Graduate
  • Good to Excellent Spanish Language skills
  • Can drive and will get an international license
  • Drives Manual transmission vehicles
  • Has Administrative skills
  • AutoCad/MicroStation/GIS preferred
  • Practical surveying knowledge preferred
  • Preferred, but not limited to civil, environmental, chemical, agricultural, mechanical or electrical engineers. However, others will be considered.
  • Can raise their own money for support. LGWI  is a newer organization, without any large corporate or Foundation support. Our fund raising is focused on providing for the salaries for our local full-time engineers and for vehicles. Consequently, preference will go to those applicants who can raise their own funding. LGWI will help you in your fund raising providing you with brochures, web access, and information which you can use to pass on to potential donors.
  • Interns must also be willing to work in very adverse conditions. Depending upon which project you will be working on, you may be high in the cold Andes Mountains, or low in the hot Upper Amazon River Basin. You will travel some by public buses between cities. You will spend some time with work teams at the sites, in sleeping bags and sleeping on the ground. Our offices are functional and adequate, but not nice and plush. The work often requires very long hours, but there will also be time for recreation and sight-seeing.
