About this role
Working as a plumbing and fire protection intern at CannonDesign means joining a multidisciplinary design team on projects spanning educational, healthcare, commercial, and science & technology sectors. You'll train under a Certified Plumbing Designer or licensed engineer, handling design work that ranges from straightforward plumbing and fire protection systems to HVAC components. Much of your time will involve BIM modeling in Revit, moving drawings through design phases from schematic through construction administration, plus reviewing shop drawing submittals and occasionally visiting job sites to assess existing conditions and track construction progress.
The role calls for someone currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering with strong communication skills and ideally some experience in Revit MEP or similar design software. You'll be expected to think critically about process improvements and coordination—not just execute assigned tasks. The position is based in Boston but remote, and offers a salary range of $26.25 to $30.25 annually along with standard benefits including health coverage, paid time off, and a 401k plan.
For students serious about plumbing design or MEP engineering, this internship has real potential: the posting explicitly notes it could transition into a full-time entry-level role if you perform well and meet qualifications. Bring a resume and portfolio when you apply through CannonDesign's careers site.
