MOU status: DoD MOU current through May 7, 2028.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

About U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) - Bureau of Reclamation (BOR)

The Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is best known for the dams, powerplants, and canals it constructed across the 17 western states, projects that supported homesteading and the economic development of the West. The agency operates 53 powerplants that annually generate more than 40 billion kilowatt hours, producing nearly a billion dollars in power revenues and enough electricity to serve 3.5 million homes.

SkillBridge internships with the Bureau of Reclamation are in-person positions spanning 5 locations across 2 states, Colorado and Montana. Available tracks include Administrative Support Assistant, Drill Rig Operator Helper, Engineering Technician (Civil), and Civil Engineer. Depending on the track, interns may perform general office functions such as scheduling, timekeeping, document review, and reporting; assist with drill rig setup, operation, and maintenance in field and warehouse settings; conduct technical engineering analysis, prepare drawings, and draft technical documentation; or support construction cost estimating work including Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) work that meets Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements, Construction Cost Estimates, and Project Cost Estimates.

All positions are federal opportunities. Some tracks run 91 to 120 days; the Drill Rig Operator Helper track extends beyond 180 days. A security clearance may be required for the Civil Engineer position. Interns gain direct exposure to federal workforce operations and technical work tied to the agency's water and infrastructure mission.

What the work involves

Civil/mechanical/electrical cost estimators, all of whom are engineers, provide estimating expertise and services to many types of construction projects throughout the United States. This group prepares Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) that meets the needs of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. The group provides support for negotiated procurement and analyses proposals. The estimates prepared are for heavy/civil construction, specialized mechanical and/or electrical, and hazardous waste assessment/cleanup/restoration. Cost estimates (or technical reviews) are provided for new construction, modifications, and life-cycle cost estimates. The group prepares Construction Cost Estimates (CCE) and Project Cost Estimates (PCE) for Authorization/Appropriation by the Congress. The group also tracks historical data and prepares Reclamation’s Construction Cost Trends, which provides a rapid means of determining the current cost of construction of various properties based on previous estimates. The group prepares the following levels of estimates (e.g., Planning Stage through Operations Stage).
