Internship - Design and Structural Modelling of a High-Voltage Substation Building Using Advanced En

Function

The objective of this internship is to develop the complete structural model and design of a standard building within a high-voltage substation, such as a Gas-Insulated Substation (GIS). You will be responsible for the structural analysis, dimensioning and detailed modelling of the building using industry-standard engineering software.

This internship can be combined with a bachelor's or master's thesis. One internship position is available.

You will create a comprehensive structural model in SCIA Engineer. You will then verify and design the different structural components and connections using IDEA StatiCa. In addition, you will develop a detailed Building Information Model (BIM) in Autodesk Revit.

You will assess the interaction between the different software tools and contribute to establishing an efficient workflow for the design of high-voltage substation buildings.

During the internship, you will gain hands-on experience in:

• Structural engineering.
• Steel and concrete design.
• BIM methodologies.
• Multidisciplinary design processes used in the power transmission industry.

The final outcome will consist of a fully documented building design, including:

• Structural calculations.
• Detailed models.
• Recommendations for optimising the design workflow and engineering practices.

Your Profile

• You are pursuing a master's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• You are interested in structural design and digital engineering tools.
• You speak English, Dutch or French. A good command of any one of these languages is sufficient.

Offer

• A hands-on internship in which you will gain experience in structural engineering, steel and concrete design, and BIM methodologies.
• The opportunity to work with professional engineering software such as SCIA Engineer, IDEA StatiCa and Autodesk Revit.
• Experience with multidisciplinary design processes used in the power transmission industry.
• The possibility of combining the internship with a bachelor's or master's thesis.
• Guidance from an experienced colleague throughout the internship.
• The opportunity to learn more about our organisation and engineering activities. Although we cannot guarantee that a position will be available after the internship, we hope that you will be interested in joining us after graduation.
• Period: No preference.
• Duration: 8 to 12 weeks or more than 12 weeks.
• Driving licence: Not required.
