We deliver energy and renewable solutions across the full project lifecycle — from concept to commissioning — including transmission and distribution infrastructure and thermal and renewable energy facilities. As an intern, you will support our engineers and designers on real projects, building your skills in a structured, hands-on environment under close supervision.
How you’ll make a difference:
- Support the design and optimisation of mechanical systems for a diverse portfolio of energy clients by assisting with tasks such as equipment sizing, layout reviews, and drawing mark-ups under guidance.
- Apply your mechanical engineering coursework to perform basic engineering calculations, help analyse mechanical equipment, and assist with pipe stress model setup and checks as directed.
- Assist in preparing project documentation — including datasheets, calculations, specifications, and design notes — ensuring version control and quality procedures are followed.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, civil/structural, process, and project management) by contributing inputs, documenting meetings, and coordinating information flow.
- Gain exposure to all project stages — feasibility, concept design, detailed engineering, construction support, and commissioning — by completing defined tasks, learning from technical experts, and contributing to low‑carbon energy solutions.
