Requirements

Interns: This is where you come in. 

Our Engineering Department creates unique designs from, sometimes, very broad ideas for commercial, industrial, and medical facilities. You will be able to see behind the curtain of Commercial HVAC and Plumbing systems into the coding and problem-solving required to automate and bring life to these buildings. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work with Professional Engineers and see the processes they go through to make a project successful.   

Top 3 things we expect you to do during your internship: 

• Learn as much as you can about HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contracting! 

• Help out your team! Work on engineering drawings and doing calculations, and help come up with possible solutions. 

• Have a great time and learn if you’d like to consider a job at MMFS in the future, or if engineering is for you!
