After working everyday for the past month on the San Diego Gas and Electric East County Substation I got moved to a new project right before SDG&E closed out. This was kind of upsetting to me because I missed out on all of the internal review meetings before the final quote is due.
But on the bright side the new job I got put on is also very interesting. It is a wastewater treatment facility that is being renovated in Oakland, CA. Now wastewater treatment plants usually aren’t the best places to work but this plant is putting in digesters that will collect methane from the wastewater and in turn power the turbines that will run the plant. Pretty exciting stuff to me because its always been a dream of mine to work on alternative energy projects.
Work is going good, and I am always busy. My only complaint is that I have to sit in front of a computer or in a desk all day long. I definitely can’t see myself sitting at a desk working for the rest of my life but at least I’m getting my foot in the door at such a versatile company.
Every intern spends there first summer in the Boston office. Then the next summer, should you chose to come back, you get to have a say in what job site you want to be at. I’ve requested to be on an alternative energy job site, and out west, in the Rocky Mt. Region. The man who recruited me to work at MEC this summer told me that I would be getting another job offer for next year before I left this summer. So it will be interesting to see how they deal with my requests.
