Frequently asked questions
Proficiency in power systems, control circuits, and instrumentation fundamentals is essential for an electrical engineer intern in oil and gas. Understanding design specifications and having hands-on experience with industrial energy equipment can significantly enhance your contribution to upstream production and gas distribution projects.
An intern in oil and gas engineering often balances project reporting, system design assistance, and specification preparation. Unlike general engineering internships, this role focuses heavily on energy infrastructure, including renewable integration and carbon capture, demanding a blend of field-specific technical knowledge and project coordination.
Interns gain exposure to cutting-edge energy projects like combined cycle plants and carbon capture tech, building a strong foundation for future roles in energy and industrial engineering. Successfully completing this internship can open doors to specialized engineering positions in oil and gas or renewable energy sectors.
Sargent & Lundy emphasizes independent problem-solving and proactive task management in its internship. Unlike some internships, interns here actively contribute to engineering calculations and project tracking within a collaborative team, fostering both technical and organizational skills tailored for energy industry demands.
Beyond hands-on project experience, Sargent & Lundy offers merit scholarships, tuition assistance, and first professional licensure bonuses. These initiatives reflect the company's commitment to nurturing technical expertise and rewarding academic excellence within its intern programs.
