Elara Engineering’s 2023 Summer Internship Program provided six talented students the opportunity to contribute to our firm’s success as they worked side-by-side with our engineering experts and operational leaders on a variety of endeavors across all of our market sectors. Specifically, three interns supported our market-focused engineering design teams, one supported our Energy and Commissioning (ECx) Team, one supported our Electrical Engineering Design Team, and one supported our Operations Team with a focus on finance and marketing.
As members of Elara’s multidisciplinary engineering design teams, our interns completed field surveys at various sites, utilized AutoCAD (2D) and REVIT (3D) drafting/modeling software to support the preparation of engineering drawings, and executed basic engineering calculations. Elara’s ECx Team intern supported numerous building infrastructure studies by performing utility analyses, conducting site surveys, and developing conceptual design system sketches. For Elara’s internal business operations, our finance/marketing intern supported the development, processing, and compilation of data for Elara’s new ERP software, performed a variety of financial analyses, and provided marketing support such as involvement with our social media development process.

Elara’s internship program not only offered me a chance to learn from HVAC professionals and their work, but it also gave me the chance to contribute on various projects while expanding my skillset. I appreciate the opportunities presented by Elara this summer and the foundation they gave me for a career in HVAC.

My summer interning at Elara was filled with immense learning. I had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of things from sizing equipment, drafting in AutoCAD, and even performing system calculations. My favorite experience this summer was going on-site because it allowed me to see our design really come to life.

Interning at Elara introduced me to a whole industry I knew little about. This internship has furthered my understanding of programs like Excel and AutoCAD, and our site visits offered a first-hand look at the projects we planned and discussed which, in turn, made them very real and tangible. Overall, this internship has been a very important part of my consideration of future career paths.
