Welcome! ZFA offers a unique internship program that mirrors the everyday life of our employees—this includes working on real projects, getting hands-on experience from jobsites, expanding your skills, and having some fun! We asked our interns what they love about the program? The results are below, as you take an adventure through A Day in the Life…
“From day one, ZFA encouraged my development as an engineer by exposing me to real projects, helping prepare me for future success. Everyone in the office was happy to answer any questions that I had, and they were all super friendly.”
Eric Overaa, Intern, Summer 2025
“I strengthened my knowledge of wood and steel design, gained exposure to reinforced concrete and cold-formed steel, and supported the SE2050 team by performing life cycle analyses on two projects. I also enhanced my drafting skills by producing details for various projects, deepening my understanding of building systems.”
Leilani Lau, Intern, Summer 2025
“ZFA was beneficial in the sense that I got to experience all stages of building development and work on a variety of projects ranging from high-end residential homes to an elementary school…the tasks were never repetitive, and I had so much variety to work with. Learning the tools used for structural engineering was a never-ending educational experience.”
Ryan Luu, Intern, Summer 2025
“My favorite part of the experience was working with the other interns and engineers at the company…collaborating on projects, going on site visits, and spending time together at the happy hours. Everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, which made my experience more enjoyable.”
Kelly Lu, Intern, Summer 2025
