Engineering Specifications Intern

We are seeking a detail-oriented Engineering Specifications Intern to assist with the standardization of electrical and mechanical engineering specifications for building design projects. This role focuses on reviewing, comparing, and updating current specifications against a master specification using AI tools and SpecLink software.

This internship offers an introduction to the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry and provides experience working alongside industry-leading professional engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Review electrical and mechanical engineering specifications and compare them to the firm’s master specification.
• Use AI tools and SpecLink to analyze specification content and identify differences, omissions, and inconsistencies.
• Prepare clear, organized reports outlining differences between current specifications and the master specification for each section.
• Update and standardize content within SpecLink by incorporating approved changes into the master specification.
• Assist with additional specification and documentation standardization efforts as needed.
• Collaborate with engineers and technical staff to clarify scope, intent, and technical requirements of specifications.

Required Qualifications

• Strong attention to detail and ability to compare technical documents accurately.
• Proficiency with AI tools for document comparison, analysis, and workflow support.
• Ability to learn and interface with SpecLink specification software.
• Solid computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Strong organizational and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with SpecLink or other specification software.
• Coursework or background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, construction management, or a related AEC field.
• Familiarity with building design, construction documents, or technical specifications.

What You’ll Gain

• A strong introduction to the AEC industry and professional engineering practice.
• Practical experience working under and learning from industry-leading professional engineers.
• Exposure to real-world electrical and mechanical building design standards.
• Experience using advanced tools, including AI-assisted workflows and professional specification software.
• Development of skills in technical document review, standardization, and quality control.
