MEET THE INTERNS! Name: Sam Tarleton Role: Student Civil & Structural Engineer Department: Structural Engineering College Degree: Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in University College Cork Hobbies: Rugby, music, and running. Favourite project and why? I’ve been involved in numerous projects so far that have been both interesting and challenging. My favourite of these projects has been a medical device manufacturing facility that is currently under construction. My contributions to this project have included both structural and civil engineering design, giving me a wide variety of tasks on a day-to-day basis. My main tasks have included structural analysis modelling, steel design and reinforced concrete design .A recent site visit to this project helped me see the real-world applications of my design and gave me a better overall understanding of the project. Experience gained so far: I have gained brilliant experience so far in multiple areas, mainly structural design. The use of software like SCIA Engineer, Navisworks and Tekkla Tedds on a daily basis has helped me become proficient in using them to analyse and design structures. I have become much more efficient with certain areas of design that I wouldn’t have previously been very confident with. Working with a team of such experienced engineers and technicians has sped up my learning hugely. The advice and guidance I’m receiving will be invaluable for both my final college year and my future career. Most challenging and rewarding aspects of your role: I found the most challenging aspect of the role was at first having to revise over certain areas of design we haven’t covered in a year or two and getting used to it again. The most rewarding aspect I found was the constant learning on the go that happens every time I’m assigned a new job. Being able to bounce between different team members and use their knowledge and experience to aid me when attempting something new makes learning so much quicker and more rewarding. Aims for the next few years: My aim once I complete my placement here is to finish out my fifth and final year of my integrated masters programme to the best of my ability. I’m sure that my experienced gained during this internship will help me greatly in my final year, especially with my final year design project and choosing what sector I want to pursue after college. #mwp #engineering #consultancy #interns

Pro2Serve is proud to recognize our Civil Engineering Intern for Summer 2024, Anna Frazier. According to her supervisor, Jeff Alcorn, PE, “Anna has been very professional during her internship: punctual, reliable, effective in performing assignments, and works well with others. Overall, she has impressed me with her adaptability and willingness to work on various tasks and projects throughout the summer.” Please enjoy getting to know Anna through the following Q&A: What degree are you currently seeking and where? "I am going into my junior year at Tennessee Technological University for my bachelor’s degree in #civilengineering." What is your role with Pro2Serve? "I am the civil engineering intern at Pro2Serve, so I get to mainly support the other civil engineers here. This includes things like creating and revising sheets for submittals, drawing up details and grading contours on #AutoCAD, and using standards to make corrections and run calculations. What are your career goals? "I would like to get a master’s degree and my P.E. license. I have enjoyed my work at Pro2Serve and would like to pursue something similar. A managerial position, like my dad’s job, sounds very appealing."   What do you wish to learn/accomplish throughout your experience? "I hoped to learn more about what it means to be an engineer and how all the concepts I’m learning about in class can be applied to a real-world project. I was also really looking forward to seeing which civil engineering concentration I might be more interested in, such as environmental, transportation, or structural." How has this #internship been valuable to you? "I’ve learned a lot about how different engineering disciplines work together on a project. It has reassured me that I thoroughly enjoy civil engineering; I’m very excited to continue working for this degree. I’ve also learned a lot about the work environment, such as how every single employee plays a crucial role in a project and how to manage working a full-time position." What are some activities you enjoy in your free time? "I love painting and doing some kind of craft, but I spend most of my free time reading." What is your favorite genre of music and your favorite food? "Right now, I have been really enjoying alternate rock. I love any kind of pasta, but my absolute favorite food is macaroni and cheese." What is a fun/unique fact about you? "I became an aunt this summer!" If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you want to go and why? "I would love to go to Greece. It’s been a childhood dream of mine, since I grew up reading kids’ books based on Greek mythology. I have also never been outside of the country, so I think it would be cool to go to Europe and see the beautiful architecture there."   What is your favorite day of the week and why? "Thursday because it always surprises me that the week is almost over. Friday wouldn’t be as amazing if Thursday wasn’t there to prepare you for it."
