About The Position

As an Engineering Intern with a focus on electrical building systems, you'll gain hands-on exposure to how power, lighting, and low-voltage systems support safe, efficient, and inspiring spaces. You'll work alongside engineers and architects to help translate design intent into coordinated, buildable electrical solutions across a range of project types. Our internship positions start at $20/hour, with the opportunity to increase by $1/hour for each additional term you return (up to a maximum of $22/hour). Graduate students begin at $22/hour. SHP also covers your parking expenses, so you can focus fully on gaining meaningful experience without worrying about the cost of getting here.

Requirements

Junior, Senior, or Graduate student pursuing an Electrical Engineering degree with interest or coursework related to electrical or building systems.
Curious about how electrical infrastructure supports architectural design and occupant experience.
Comfortable working in Revit and Microsoft Office; exposure to lighting software, AutoCAD, or electrical analysis tools is a plus.
Detail-oriented, analytical, and eager to learn within a collaborative studio environment.

Responsibilities

Assist in the design and documentation of electrical building systems, including power distribution, lighting, and emergency systems.
Support lighting calculations, load calculations, and coordination of electrical layouts within Revit models.
Contribute to drawing sets and schedules used for design development and construction documentation.
Learn how electrical systems are coordinated with mechanical, plumbing, structural, and architectural elements.
Participate in interdisciplinary coordination and problem-solving with architects, interior designers, and engineers.
Support sustainability and energy-related efforts, such as lighting efficiency and code compliance.
