About The Position

MTech Mechanical’s Project Engineer Internship is a 13-week summer rotation for students interested in the lifecycle of commercial mechanical construction, from engineering and design through field operations, project management, commissioning, and closeout. Interns contribute to active projects, visit jobsites, build technical knowledge, and work alongside engineers, project and field managers, skilled craft professionals, and other teams. The program is designed primarily for students entering their junior or senior year in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline. It can also provide an early pathway to MTech’s full-time Project Engineer I Rotation Program after graduation, though participation does not guarantee future employment. Interns support project operations and coordination, gain exposure to mechanical design and engineering, spend time with field teams and skilled trades, and assist with commissioning and project closeout activities as schedules allow. The role takes place in both office and active construction-site environments, and employees must follow safety requirements. Regular and predictable attendance is expected. Other duties may be assigned. MTech Mechanical is a full-service mechanical contractor delivering HVAC, plumbing, fabrication, and design-build solutions for commercial and industrial projects. Its stated values include integrity, commitment, excellence, growth, and fun, with an emphasis on people, teamwork, safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
