Summer 2027 Internship - Electrical Engineering (Buildings)

The role

An Electrical Engineering intern on the Buildings team will collaborate with engineers to learn power, lighting, and low-voltage systems for industrial facilities. The role involves assisting with electrical power system design, load calculations, and BIM modeling.

What you will do

• Assist in the design and coordination of electrical power systems in BIM for industrial and critical facilities.
• Help perform load calculations, circuit analysis, and panel schedules.
• Support equipment layouts under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Support the development of medium-voltage distribution networks and backup systems.
• Assist with the draft of single line diagrams.
• Contribute to lighting design studies, grounding layouts, and protective device coordination tasks.
• Learn and apply BIM modeling using Revit and AutoCAD.
• Assist in preparing documentation, specifications, and construction drawings.
• Participate in workflow automation and data analytics using visual programming or coding.
• Communicate technical ideas and progress updates within multidisciplinary project teams.

Required qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Foundational coursework in electrical power systems, machines, circuits, and building services engineering.
• Exposure to BIM modeling software, such as Revit and AutoCAD.
• Academic understanding of power distribution, load analysis, and basic electrical design fundamentals.
• Interest in learning lighting and energy modeling tools (e.g., Dialux, or IES-VE).
• Interest and/or experience in AI tools for design, visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper), coding (Python, C#), and/or open-source projects.
• A proactive, collaborative attitude with a strong desire to learn how complex industrial systems operate.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly and collaboratively across disciplines.
• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.

Nice to have

• Junior or Senior standing preferred
• Familiarity with electrical codes and standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE)
• Exposure to power system studies, short-circuit analysis, or relay protection through university labs or projects
• Experience with renewable integration, generator systems, or UPS and battery energy storage
• Understanding of data center electrical topologies (Uptime Tier standards, redundancy design)

Benefits

• Monthly housing stipend
• Eligible for overtime pay
