MEP Engineering Intern (Building Services)

InternSG; Singapore; On-site; SGD 17,000 - 28,000; Full time

Job summary

InternSG is seeking a university student for a full-time internship in Singapore to support MEP drawing reviews, calculations, and coordination with Australian and New Zealand teams. You will log comments against brief, learn codes (NCC, AS/NZS), and assist with RFQ/tender packages.

You'll gain hands-on experience in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and power systems applied to real building projects, with exposure to AutoCAD, Revit, Excel, and basic Python scripting, and learn how AI tooling can

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a university and eligible for credit-bearing internship programmes.
• Core modules in thermodynamics / heat transfer, fluid mechanics, or electrical power systems.
• Comfortable with AutoCAD; Revit (MEP) experience a plus.
• Familiar with Python or scripting is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Review consultant MEP drawings and log comments against brief and applicable Australian / New Zealand codes and standards (e.g. NCC, AS/NZS).
• Prepare and check engineering calculations such as cooling and heating loads, ventilation rates, electrical maximum demand, and water supply / drainage demand, and keep the calculation register up to date.
• Coordinate MEP services with architectural and structural layouts: space for plant rooms, risers and ceiling voids, and clash checks in 2D and Revit.
• Compare equipment options on 10-year total cost of ownership (energy, maintenance, spares and remote-site logistics) and help prepare technical schedules for RFQ and tender packages.
• Use AI tools and simple scripts (e.g. Excel, Python) to speed up repetitive calculation and checking tasks, and write up the method so the team can reuse it.
• Maintain drawing, RFI and design-decision registers, and join online coordination meetings with project teams in Australia and New Zealand.

Job description

What You Will Do

• Review consultant MEP drawings and specifications (HVAC, electrical, hydraulics/plumbing, fire services) and log comments against the brief and applicable Australian / New Zealand codes and standards (e.g. NCC, AS/NZS).
• Prepare and check engineering calculations such as cooling and heating loads, ventilation rates, electrical maximum demand, and water supply / drainage demand, and keep the calculation register up to date.
• Coordinate MEP services with architectural and structural layouts: space for plant rooms, risers and ceiling voids, and clash checks in 2D and Revit.
• Compare equipment options on 10-year total cost of ownership (energy, maintenance, spares and remote-site logistics) and help prepare technical schedules for RFQ and tender packages.

• Maintain drawing, RFI and design-decision registers, and join online coordination meetings with project teams in Australia and New Zealand.

What You Will Learn

• How thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and power systems are applied to real buildings.
• How MEP design is regulated, reviewed and certified in Australia and New Zealand.
• How an owner/developer weighs capital cost, operating cost and maintainability when making design decisions.
• How to use AI tools responsibly in engineering work, including checking and documenting AI-assisted results.
• How to communicate technical issues clearly with consultants, contractors and management in a cross-border team.

Who We Are Looking For
