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.
  • Basic understanding of manufacturing processes and safety procedures is a plus.
