Glasgow
Temporary
Do you want to work for an Engineering Consultancy with sustainability at the heart of its strategy? Can you contribute with solutions from your academic studies? Are you currently studying to be an Engineer? Then, join us to shape a sustainable and liveable world. From concept to current. This summer, help us design the systems that power what matters.
Create Solutions that will enable a better tomorrow
To give current students a taste of a career in Engineering, we are looking for a Summer Intern to join us in the M&E division in London. Working on our current projects, you'll have the opportunity to support the team and learn from our Engineers on the day-to-day operations within a consultancy office.
Your key responsibilities will be to:
- Assist with the preparation of mechanical design calculations, schematics, and layouts.
- Shadow engineers during coordination with clients, contractors, and other disciplines (e.g. mechanical, structural, architecture).
- Use your academic knowledge of the engineering fundamentals to contribute to our projects.
- Gain valuable experience in a global consultancy.
Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.
The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
On top of that, you’ll have:
- Completed a minimum of 2 years in either a bachelor's or master's degree, either in Mechanical Engineering or a similar related subject (BEng, BSc, Meng, MSc).
- Good problem-solving skills.
- Creative and technical thinking.
- The ability to demonstrate evidence of research and information gathering skills.
- An interest in engineering within the Infrastructure or Energy market.
- Some design coursework available if requested.
