Testimonial
Sebastian Calderon
Intern to Field Engineer
"I had the privilege of interning with Keller throughout my studies, and it allowed me to practice and build the same topics and concepts I was learning in the classroom. My favorite part is being able to know and be proud that I had a hand in a new structure or project being built."

“In college, I interned for Keller gaining hands-on experience in the field and seeing practical uses for what we learned in the classroom. After college, I returned to Keller full-time due to their company culture, travel, and endless growth opportunities. In my career so far, working at Keller has been a rewarding experience.”
