About the role
CREW Carbon is seeking a Summer Intern to support engineering and project execution as we scale up our decarbonization technology. This role will assist with the installation and operation of CREW’s deployments at wastewater facilities to achieve carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The intern will work closely with both the engineering and science teams on cross-functional needs ranging from engineering design support to data management and analysis.
This is a high-impact, hands-on internship suited for a graduate student or a highly capable undergraduate with strong data and analytical skills. Preference will be given to candidates with prior engineering work experience or strong technical backgrounds.
Location will be onsite at our office in Brooklyn, or remote within the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic US.
Responsibilities
- Draft engineering drawings to communicate design intent and CDR operations.
- Perform preliminary CDR equipment design including equipment sizing.
- Support equipment supplier and contractor submittal reviews and communications.
- Conduct analyses, review, summary, and reporting of CDR and wastewater process data from live deployments.
- Support intake and early-stage evaluation of potential wastewater partners, including permits, record drawings, and water quality data.
- Manage data pipelines and ensure timely distribution of key technical and operational data to internal teams.
- Assist in the preparation of proposals including cost estimates, scopes of work, and project documentation.
- Participate in construction inspection, startup, and commissioning activities (as applicable based on intern location).
Desired Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a graduate degree (preferred) or completed undergraduate degree in chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical, or related engineering fields.
- Previous work or internship experience in engineering, data analysis, or process-oriented environments strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with engineering drawings and specifications.
- Comfortable working with and interpreting technical data with spreadsheet-based tools (e.g. Microsoft Excel) and scientific programming languages (Python preferred).
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with strong attention to detail.
- Strong communication and writing skills.
- Passion for climate or water technology and environmental impact.
Bonus qualifications
- Experience with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or similar CAD software.
- Exposure to water or wastewater treatment systems.
- Experience working with monitoring and control systems (e.g., SCADA, sensors, automation).
