Joseph O. Roy Internship 2026 – Engineering Intern

The Engineering Intern will work alongside MMWEC’s Engineering and Generation Asset teams, gaining hands-on experience with electrical and mechanical engineering systems across both conventional and renewable generation. This internship is ideal for an engineering student interested in power systems, energy infrastructure, and the evolving electric grid.

Interns will support active engineering projects, participate in site visits, and engage directly with professionals working on real-world power generation and transmission systems. This role provides a strong foundation in applied engineering, project documentation, and the operational realities of the energy sector.

What You’ll Gain

  • Practical experience with electrical and mechanical systems in power generation
  • Exposure to renewable energy, emerging technologies, and grid modernization
  • Hands-on use of AutoCAD, engineering drawings, and technical documentation
  • Experience supporting live projects at power generation and energy facilities
  • Mentorship from licensed and senior engineers working in public power

Key Responsibilities

  • Support Engineering and Generation Asset engineers by digitizing, updating, and creating engineering drawings and documentation using AutoCAD and PDF files
  • Update and develop drawings based on markups and revisions from MMWEC engineers and power plant technical staff
  • Assist with documentation management for MMWEC engineering projects and upgrades at the Stony Brook Energy Center
  • Participate in site visits, including environmental reviews and preparation of permit, construction, and as-built drawings
  • Draft formal specifications, equipment checklists, and bid documentation
  • Support the Engineering Supervisor and Senior Engineer with project scheduling, tracking, and coordination with vendors, contractors, and installers
  • Assist with project closeout activities, including documentation review, submittals, and development of equipment O&M manuals and project binders
  • Attend Design Modification Request (DMR) meetings and assist with research related to equipment performance and operational improvements
  • Review building energy systems (solar, battery storage, boilers, chillers, pumps, HVAC systems and controls) and research efficiency improvements and equipment upgrades
  • Prepare reports including calculations, recommendations, equipment cut sheets, cost estimates, expected energy savings, and payback analyses
  • Participate in Emerging Technology Team meetings and support research on new technologies impacting power generation, delivery, and use
  • Provide on-site support to the Berkshire Wind Technician and climb team, and assist with drawings and documentation for wind and other distributed generation projects
