College Intern – AVFI Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering

There are two (2) available positions for this full-time summer internship opportunity. This internship position will assist the senior electrical and telecom systems engineers with facility record documentation and asset management. The record data provides the basis for future development planning and growth.  The intern will study existing systems and propose opportunities to implement energy-efficient products and systems. The intern will also help other staff gather as-built information useful for assembling the facility master record drawing system. There will be two positions, one with a focus on power and one with a focus on telecommunications.

• Research record documents such as plans, specifications, and technical reports to verify existing equipment and infrastructure locations and capacities.
• Collect data from various electrical and communication equipment and systems.  Gain knowledge of practical engineering.
• Update existing electrical panelboard schedules and assist with project shutdowns.
• Review tenant upgrade projects from inception through construction.
• Research and develop energy-efficient products and energy-saving systems.  
• Assist with the development and management of infrastructure small job projects.
• Review and update current standards and specifications.  
• Field verification involving industrial areas, construction sites, and equipment rooms.
• Prepare and edit an Excel spreadsheet listing equipment by number, type, and location.
