Mechanical Engineer Internship/Placement

Description

• Work as part of a project team, contributing to the delivery of ongoing projects and embracing a collaborative “one team” culture.
• Assist in troubleshooting and resolving mechanical issues on-site under supervision.
• Support the sizing and selection of pumps, valves, pipework, and other mechanical systems under guidance.
• Assist in preparing mechanical design drawings, schematics, Inspection Test Records, and equipment layouts for water/wastewater treatment facilities.
• Contribute to the preparation of technical specifications for mechanical equipment and fittings.
• Carry out basic engineering calculations (e.g., flow rates, pressure drops, pump curves) with support from senior engineers.
• Engage in continuous learning and development, keeping up to date with emerging industry standards and technologies through guidance and mentoring.
• Support site teams with health and safety activities, such as inductions, statutory inspections, record keeping, and data collection.
• Support the promotion of Health, Safety, Environmental & Sustainability standards, policies, and procedures on-site.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a Mechanical Engineering (or related) degree programme.
• Willingness to work on-site and adapt to a dynamic project environment.
• Observe and gain experience in planned preventive maintenance routines for plant equipment.
• Good communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a professional environment.
• Must be returning to college/university after completion of the placement (this is a structured placement opportunity, not a graduate role).
• Enthusiasm for learning and applying engineering concepts in real-world projects.
• Get familiar with water and wastewater treatment processes, including exposure to modular package treatment plant fabrication.
• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); exposure to AutoCAD or similar software is an advantage but not essential.
