Our next Summer Internship Testimony is Colin Crivello:

“My summer at SPK has been a great experience. Starting off as an intern felt intimidating, but within days I gained confidence thanks to helpful coworkers. Everyone was respectful, approachable, and always willing to help, which made it easy to ask questions and grow. I had the opportunity to improve my skills in AutoCAD and gain hands-on experience with real-world projects within the roadway unit. This experience has not only strengthened my technical abilities but also helped shape my goals for the future.”

Next up for our Summer 2025 Internship Testimony is Samantha Yuen:

“My name is Samantha Yuen and I have completed a summer internship with SPK. I had a great experience that was filled with great people. Everyone was super welcoming and open to answer any questions I had about different engineering topics or even talk about my plans for the next weekend. In addition to this, my scope on the different aspects of civil engineering was expanded. I was given work that interested me, yet still challenged my skillset. My mentor guided me through various H&H reports and E&S plans that I eventually became comfortable with completing myself. I cannot show enough appreciation for the support from my mentor, coworkers, and executives at SPK. I learned so much within the past three months, that makes this experience a memorable one.”

Colin Hayes 2025 Internship Testimony

First up for our 2025 Internship Testimony is Colin Hayes:
When I first arrived at SPK earlier this summer, I had no idea what to expect. What I got, however, was an incredible experience that I will remember for many years. I was quite nervous on my first day, but that anxiety was quickly calmed by an extremely friendly and welcoming environment. Over the course of this summer, I talked to almost everyone in the office, and I’m glad to say that every single interaction was positive. It never felt like I was “just an intern”. Not only was I treated like a colleague, but I was given the opportunity to work on real infrastructure projects. For that reason, I’d like to thank Perry, Dave, Pat, my mentor Jessi, and the entire team at SPK for giving me an amazing experience this summer. Although I still have much to learn, the knowledge I have gained throughout these 11 short weeks will stick with me for many years to come.
