The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) is the public transit authority responsible for planning and constructing the rail transit system for the City and County of Honolulu. The system, known as Skyline, is the first fully automated, driverless urban light metro system in the United States and represents the largest infrastructure project in the history of Hawaii.
Skyline’s route is approximately 19 miles, with 19 stations, along Oahu’s southern coast, and it is being constructed in three segments. The first segment, from East Kapolei to Aloha Stadium, is already in revenue service, with the next segments planned to extend service from Middle Street, through downtown Honolulu, to the Civic Center Station.
This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in civil, mechanical, or related engineering fields while contributing to one of Hawaii’s most transformative infrastructure projects. Students with a genuine interest in developing a career in engineering are encouraged to apply.
