Committee recommends adding short-term engineering intern to revised 2025 salary ranges
Summary
Staff recommended revising the 2025 classified seasonal and part-time salary schedule to add an engineering intern position limited to six months or 1,000 hours; the item was presented for consent and committee members discussed recruitment value and candidate interest.
Staff presented a recommendation to revise the 2025 classified seasonal and part-time salary schedule to add an engineering intern position.
"This position would, be no longer than 6 months, or 1000 hours per calendar year in fiscal year," the staff member said, noting the limits are based on PERS and Affordable Care Act regulations. The item was put forward as a consent recommendation for the full board.
Committee members asked whether the internship was intended as a recruitment tool. The staff presentation said the role would provide technical and administrative support during the busy season and offer a paid learning opportunity; one member noted an interested local student now studying out of the area.
Members cautioned that interns are typically college students rather than licensed engineers, but several said the internship could create a candidate pipeline: "There's value there, but we'll see," another member said. The committee did not record a formal vote in the transcript; staff presented the item for placement on the consent agenda.
