Mechanical Engineer Intern

Responsibilities

Dennis Group’s Mechanical Engineers design and implement mechanical systems as part of a broad engineering and architectural team in designing and building food and beverage production facilities. Specifically, HVAC, plumbing / utility, and fire suppression systems. Our mechanical team is involved with designing the mechanical systems, calculating space heat and cooling loads, determining and selecting equipment sizes, and vetting and selecting suitable vendors, suppliers, and sub-contractors. Mechanical Engineers will have technical responsibility for scoping, performing, and delivering multiple concurrent project assignments. You will be a member of our mechanical department and your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Perform heating and cooling load calculations.
• Perform mass energy balance calculations.
• Perform drainage and line loss calculations.
• Perform flow test (hydrant or other) analysis.
• Sanitary design considerations (layouts, process exhaust).
• PID Drafting.
• Bid packages: equipment and sub-contractor – bid list, scope of work, milestone schedule.
• Develop HVAC, plant utility, plumbing, and fire suppression systems.
• Assist in mechanical system design development and coordinate with other internal and external team members.
• Develop Mechanical / Utility equipment and construction specifications
• Develop P&ID’s, equipment layout plans, plant / process utility distribution plans, and system details
• Size and develop layouts for ductwork and piping plans.
• Assist with the development of the building management system (BMS) controls, details, and plans with electrical and controls engineers.
• Create project documents such as calculations, reports, and construction drawings and specifications, etc.
• Fixture selection
• Perform construction administration in the form of submittal reviews, RFI responses, and field visits to verify construction scope is proceeding per the intent of the design.
• Research mechanical / utility materials and best practices
• Support talent growth within our organization
