Job description

Introduction

At ARCO/Murray, we take our “better team, better planning, and better execution” culture seriously. But we’re not an award-winning firm just because we’re a great place to work. We’re relentless experts at what we do.

Overview

Are you passionate about the design/build construction process? Do you enjoy working closely with internal and external clients to ensure construction projects start off on the right foot? Do you love value engineering problems away before a project even breaks ground? If the answer is, “Yes!”, we have an opportunity for you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies.

AME Engineering is currently seeking a Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our Mechanical Engineering team based in Downers Grove, IL. You will work side-by-side with project managers and other MEP design engineers to deliver projects. The Mechanical Engineering Intern will assist the team in all MEP-related design, estimating, and coordination functions in support of industrial, life sciences, food & beverage, and/or manufacturing facility projects. This role will not focus exclusively on design/production work but will require detailed understanding of mechanical system design principles to complete required day-to-day activities.

What We Can Offer You:

We are dedicated to the well-being of our associates and are proud to be consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work.

• Competitive hourly rate (with overtime possible)
• One-on-one mentorship
• Structured training program
• Opportunity to travel
• Opportunity for term-end discretionary bonus
• Housing assistance provided for non-local interns
• A $5,000 bonus should you join AME full-time after graduation

At ARCO, our first core value is to treat people fairly and do the right thing. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.

From recruiting, training, and hiring practices to selecting our subcontractors, we understand that diversity of all those involved in the construction process enhances our ability to deliver the best solutions to our customers. We hire the best and the brightest from across the country – constructing a team of experts in architecture, design, engineering, project management, and business services.

Responsibilities

• Perform design of Mechanical Systems for large scale buildings in the controlled agriculture, industrial, process/manufacturing, and commercial sectors.

• Review shop drawings for compliance of specifications and contract documents.
• Perform energy models for permit and for master energy studies.

Requirements

• Minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0
• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s of Mechanical Engineering program or related field of study.
• Prior industry internship experience is a plus.
