Engineering Intern
Joseph O. Roy Internship 2025
Engineering Intern
The goal of this internship is to develop a working knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering systems in both
conventional and renewable generation, as well as provide the candidate with a better understanding of the complex
interconnected systems that make up our electric grid, and the changes this grid is currently undergoing.
Intern Responsibilities:
• Support Engineering and Generation Asset engineers with digitizing, updating and creating drawings and
documentation from AOB drawing file room as needed. Work using AutoCAD and PDF files to update and create
new drawings based on markups and revisions from MMWEC engineering and the power plant’s technical
personnel.
• Assist in documentation management to support Stony Brook Energy Center upgrades in addition to MMWEC
engineering projects.
• Assist and support engineers on site visits with environmental review(s) and preparation of permit, construction
and as-built drawings.
• Write formal specifications, equipment checklists, and other bid documentation asneeded.
• Assist the Engineering Supervisor and Senior Engineer in project scheduling and tracking. Coordinate with
project vendors and site contractors and installers as directed by the Senior Engineer.
• Assist with project completion and closeout for open MMWEC projects. This includes documentation
and drawing management and review, in addition to developing project closeout materials, submittals
and equipment O&M manual and binders for the project.
• Attend regular DMR (Design Modification Request) meetings with Stony Brook Energy Center staff and assist in
research to address areas for improvement regarding equipment and/or operational issues that are mentioned
during these meetings.
• Review current office building’s energy systems (solar, battery storage and mechanical systems and controls
(boilers, chillers, pumps and HVAC equipment). Research newer technology and equipment alternatives and
provide a detailed report with calculations, recommendations, equipment cut sheets for engineering review.
Focus on increasing equipment efficiencies, equipment improvements and upgrades for building HVAC
equipment. Obtain equipment pricing from manufacturer reps and MMWEC distributors. Calculate new
equipment costs, expected yearly cost savings and paybacktimeframe.
• Attend Emerging Technology Team meetings and provide research and cross functional support to assist team
members in analyzing and preparing documentation of newer technologies for the electric power and energy
sectors that could change the way power is generated, delivered and/orused.
• Provide support to the Berkshire Wind Technician and climb team, including on- site support of existing wind
turbines. Assist the Senior Engineer with preliminary drawings, specifications and documentation for MMWEC’s
other distributed generation projects.
