Oates Associates is hosting nine interns as part of its 2026 internship program. Those gaining hands-on experience through the program include returning interns Katie Saenz and Drew Schonhardt, along with seven new additions: Luke Karlas, Sean Keys, Jack Pecoraro, Katie Stark, Brady Steinkamp, Titus Verning, and Kaylee Wood.
The interns join Oates from universities across the region, including Abilene Christian University, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and the University of Kansas. They are pursuing degrees in civil engineering or architectural engineering and share an interest in building careers in engineering.
Throughout the summer, interns will gain practical, real-world experience in civil and structural engineering, surveying, and construction observation. The firm looks forward to supporting each intern’s growth and introducing them to the opportunities available within the engineering industry.
