Project Engineering & Archival Intern -Water Technologies

Job Description

What your day might look like

The Project Engineering & Archival Intern participates in both the preservation of our engineering history and the active design of modern water systems. You will split your time between a critical data migration project— transitioning physical historical records into a searchable digital database—and hands-on engineering

design. Under the guidance of experienced engineers, you will gain practical experience creating functional drawings and system layouts for smaller utility and treatment units. Key Responsibilities:

In this role, your responsibilities will include (but are not limited to)

• Audit, scan, and digitize historical paper engineering records, technical drawings, and data logs into a secure digital archive.
• Categorize, tag, and log digitized files using metadata to ensure institutional knowledge is searchable and preserved.
• Draft and develop Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and arrangement drawings for smaller units, including mobile power washers and small Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems.
• Perform basic engineering, hydraulic, and sizing calculations required for the component selection of these smaller treatment units under senior engineering guidance.
• Provide technical support to the project engineering team by cross-checking historical designs against active, modern project requirements.

Qualifications

Our Ideal Candidate

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other related technical discipline.
• Strong organizational skills and an eye for data accuracy and information hierarchy.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Good technical writing and oral communication skills.
• Ability to manage time and prioritize tasks at hand.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and high attention to detail.
