What are the responsibilities and job description for the MEP Engineering Intern (Summer 2025) position at AME Design Group?
Are you passionate about the design/build construction process? Do you enjoy working closely with internal and external clients to ensure construction projects start off on the right foot? Do you love value engineering problems away before a project even breaks ground? If the answer is, “Yes!”, we have an opportunity for you. Who are we? We are ARCO, a Family of Construction Companies.
AME Engineering is currently seeking an Engineering Intern to join our Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) team based in Downers Grove, IL. You will work side-by-side with project managers and other MEP design engineers to deliver projects. The MEP Engineering Intern will assist the team in all MEP-related design, estimating, and coordination functions in support of industrial, life sciences, food & beverage, and/or manufacturing facility projects. This role will not focus exclusively on design/production work but will require detailed understanding of mechanical system design principles to complete required day-to-day activities.
What We Can Offer You
We are dedicated to the well-being of our associates and are proud to be consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work.
NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS
From recruiting, training, and hiring practices to selecting our subcontractors, we understand that diversity of all those involved in the construction process enhances our ability to deliver the best solutions to our customers. We hire the best and the brightest from across the country – constructing a team of experts in architecture, design, engineering, project management, and business services.
MAKE YOUR MOVE
We are proud to be one of the fastest-growing, privately-owned companies in America, celebrating over 30 years of experience as design-build experts. We have completed over 5,500 design-build projects across 48 states and 38 major cities nationwide. We ranked #3 on the ENR Top 100 Design-Build Firms list, and #17 on the ENR Top 400 Contractors list in 2023. Most importantly, our clients like us, trust us and want to do business with us. We are looking for people with the same enthusiasm, passion, and respect for the hard work that brought us to where we are today. Are you a person that can make a difference at ARCO? If the answer is, “Yes!” we look forward to meeting you.
