Engineering Intern - Design Management

Join Our Team

Our teams at Cundall play a key role in making buildings more energy efficient, cost effective to run and, ultimately, more sustainable. To do this, we’re looking for students who have a desire and enthusiasm to make a difference: in our homes, offices, projects, industry and community.

Working across a variety of sectors, our engineers are a source of world leading expertise, producing innovative and award-winning sustainable engineering solutions throughout the lifecycle of any building project.

Our teams have worked on a range of amazing projects, from data centres for large tech companies to headquarters of companies such as Deutsche Bank and Diageo.

At Cundall, we don’t just design buildings, we design change. As a multi-award-winning global consultancy, named UK Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022, and 2021, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovative, sustainable design.

The Role You'll Play

This opportunity is ideal for a current student who is looking to gain practical experience in the building services design sector while developing administrative, coordination and project support skills.

Working closely with our experienced Design Managers, you’ll support the smooth running of live projects and gain valuable insight into how complex design projects are coordinated and delivered.

Your role will involve a variety of project support tasks, including reports, maintaining schedules and trackers, recording meeting notes and actions, organising project information, supporting BIM team or document control processes and assisting with general coordination across the design team.

You’ll also have the chance to shadow Design Managers, attend project meetings where appropriate and learn more about the wider design management process. This is a great opportunity to build confidence, strengthen your professional skills and understand how multidisciplinary teams work together to deliver major projects.

The Skills You'll Bring

• You’ll currently be studying towards a degree or relevant qualification (e.g., Mechanical/Electrical Engineering; etc.) and be keen to gain hands-on experience in an administrative or project support role.
• An interest in engineering, design, construction, data centres or the built environment would be beneficial, but we’re also keen to hear from students who are curious to learn more about the sector.
• You’ll be organised, methodical and able to manage your time effectively while supporting multiple tasks and deadlines.
• You’ll have strong attention to detail and be comfortable preparing documents, updating trackers, recording information accurately and following agreed processes.
• You’ll be open to using AI tools responsibly to support efficiency, organisation and quality.
• Familiarity with Revit would be beneficial, along with an interest in or experience of scripting to help improve workflows, automate routine tasks and support more efficient design coordination.
• Collaborative and proactive in nature, you’ll be confident communicating with others, asking questions and supporting the wider team where needed.
• You’ll bring a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine willingness to learn, develop and contribute to project work in a professional team environment.
