    Engineering Summer Placement
    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had a civil engineering summer placement or just an engineering summer placement and could tell me what the pay was like?

    I'm hopefully expecting to do a full placement for 12 weeks at a reasonably respected civil engineering company and wondered if you think i will get paid, or will my transport and lunch be paid for, or minimum wage?

    Thank you

    I've never heard of any engineering companies not paying their interns. From the people in my course the pay for summer placements was generally between 250-400 pounds per week. Intern/placement pay never correlated with graduate pay, though.
