Hello, Sebastian
Here are my suggested changes to your resume:
-I would remove the whole paragraph you have that starts with "Flexible, resilient, and multi-faceted..." because anything tangible in that section should be covered below in your work experience. The intangible qualities like flexibility should be demonstrated in an interview setting with your answers to questions. When I am given a resume where someone tells me about themselves in that way, it doesn't convince me that those qualities are true. If you're not careful, because it is written text, it may come across with a bragging tone that you don't intend.
-instead of that first paragraph, I would suggest a simple line that says what you are seeking. These kinds of statements help the person receiving the resume know who should review it, if they offer what you are seeking, etc. If you are preparing your resume for a specific position at a specific company, you can make sure you call it the same thing the company does. Here are a couple example statements: "Seeking full-time employment as a structural engineering project manager" or "Seeking a civil engineering summer internship with a focus in geotechnical engineering"
-I would suggest finding a place within your work experience to place your number of square meters from the into paragraph so that info is still included.
-Depending on where you seek employment, make sure your numbers are written in the style of that place. For example, were some countries write "$5.428.000" and "3.470" other countries write "$5,428,000" and "3,470"-- to those who aren't familiar with that difference, it could look like a typo.
-Consider changing the skills section to a "codes and programs" section and list the codes you are familiar with along with the analysis software. The rest of the skills, such as structural analysis, you've covered in other places already.
-I would remove the "core competencies" section. As mentioned previously, these skills are better demonstrated than listed out since anyone can claim to have the qualities.
-With the changes listed above, I think you may be able to get the document down to just 2 pages. This would allow someone to print your resume on a single sheet of paper.
Overall comments:
-I like the format you've chosen. It is easy to read and well organized into sections.
-It seems like you have some great experience so far. Buena suerte en sus estudias y su carrera
