About this role
This internship offers hands-on experience in building systems design within a multidisciplinary engineering environment at CannonDesign's Chicago office. You'll work under licensed engineers on real projects across commercial, education, health, science and technology, and sports sectors—designing telecommunications, security, nurse call, public address, and audiovisual systems while preparing construction documents and specifications. The role includes site visits to assess existing conditions and monitor construction progress, giving you practical exposure to how design translates into built work.
You'll need to be enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering with strong communication skills and familiarity with design software like Revit or Navisworks. The position is remote-eligible and pays $22.25 to $26.25 hourly, with access to medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, flexible scheduling, and a 401k plan. Notably, this internship has potential to convert to a full-time entry-level role if you meet the company's requirements, making it a genuine pathway into the firm rather than a one-off summer position.
