Full job description

At Jacobs, we’re transforming intangible ideas into innovative solutions designing the future - today. We’re seeking an Electrical Engineering Intern to join our Energy and Power Solutions team in Reston, VA.

As part of our team, you’ll have the chance to work on projects that bring innovative solutions to our clients’ challenges locally and worldwide.

During your internship, you will be mentored by Professional Engineers while you engage with our clients, evaluate their energy needs, and develop concept-level plans and solutions.

Your primary responsibilities will focus on supporting engineering calculations, construction drawings, and specifications for energy and power projects. You’ll be responsible for providing system design calculations and other related design services including coordination with the designs of other trades (architectural and engineering) under the guidance of more senior technical staff. You’ll also take ownership of the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of the work assigned to you by demonstrating the ability to progress from basic design work assignments to more complicated and involved projects working in conjunction with a technical team.

To be successful in this position you will need excellent analytical, conceptual, communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

If you’re up for the challenge, we’ve been looking for someone just like you.
