System Integrator Intern – I – Critical Infrastructure
- for lists. Use
for prose. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, "Are you ready...", "Notice To Third Party Agencies", etc. We must also remove duplicated lines. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Smart Tech Contracting delivers turnkey BAS & EPMS solutions for mission-critical colocation and hyperscale data centers operating at national program scale. As a Master Systems Integrator (MSI), we unify controls construction (DDC, PLC, SCADA) with software engineering, optimized graphics / UI standards, and program-level governance. Complex integrations are delivered cleanly, consistently, and fast. Our teams thrive in high-stakes environments where quality control and uptime matters, schedules are compressed, and coordination is everything. Join us and be part of a team where your voice matters, your work makes an impact, and your growth is a shared priority." That's about the company and role. We'll put in About the role. Then "Position Title: System Integrator Intern – I – Critical Infrastructure Position Location: Remote - work virtually from anywhere in the United States, Atlanta, GA, or Dallas, TX Summer 2027 Internship Dates: May 17th, 2027- August 13th, 2027 Job Summary". We should not repeat job title as heading. Position location and internship dates could go into Schedule or maybe About the role? But we have Schedule section for dates and travel. We'll include location maybe in About the role? But location is not a heading; we can include location in About the role paragraph? The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and dates in a short
maybe under About the role or Schedule. Since we have Schedule section, we can put internship dates and location there. Job Summary paragraph: "The System Integration Intern supports the installation, startup, testing, commissioning, and deployment of Building Automation Systems (BAS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), PLC, and SCADA systems on mission-critical infrastructure projects. This is a hands-on field-focused internship designed for students and early-career individuals interested in industrial automation, controls, commissioning, and system integration. Interns will work alongside experienced System Integrators, Controls Engineers, and SCADA Engineers to learn how physical equipment, field devices, PLCs, networks, and software systems operate together. Interns will gain experience working at the intersection of controls hardware, industrial networking, PLCs, SCADA software, and field deployment activities. The role serves as a bridge between physical system installation and software implementation, helping interns understand how automation systems are deployed, validated, commissioned, and supported in real-world environments. This position includes significant project-site exposure and provides opportunities to participate in construction, startup, testing, commissioning, deployment, and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) activities." That's About the role content. Now Essential Functions broken into subsections: Installation, Startup & Field Support - Assist with verification of controls installations and field wiring - Support point-to-point checkout and I/O verification activities - Assist with startup and testing of BAS, EPMS, PLC, and SCADA systems - Help verify field devices, sensors, actuators, instrumentation, and network communications - Support troubleshooting efforts during startup and commissioning activities - Document field observations, deficiencies, and corrective actions Testing & Commissioning - Participate in system startup, commissioning, and Integrated Systems Testing (IST) activities - Assist with execution of test procedures and validation of system operation - Support functional testing of equipment and control sequences - Help verify system operation against project requirements and sequences of operation - Assist with owner demonstrations and turnover activities when appropriate Controls & Automation Exposure - Gain exposure to Rockwell Automation PLC platforms and industrial control systems - Assist with PLC startup, troubleshooting, and communications testing - Learn SCADA fundamentals, including Ignition 8.3 deployment and operation - Learn software deployment, gateway administration, and system validation practices - Gain exposure to industrial communication protocols including Ethernet/IP, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, and OPC UA - Assist with validating connectivity between PLCs, SCADA systems, databases, APIs, and enterprise applications - Gain exposure to operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) integration concepts - Learn how industrial protocols are used to integrate PLCs, SCADA systems, BAS systems, EPMS systems, field devices, and enterprise applications Technical Documentation & Digital Tools - Complete daily reports, field notes, issue logs, and testing documentation - Assist with updating redlines, as-built documentation, and punch lists - Use Microsoft Office and digital project tools to organize project information - Gain exposure to Git, Azure DevOps, and software development workflows - Utilize approved AI-enabled tools to improve reporting, documentation, and learning Technical Growth & Development - Participate in Ignition 8.3 training with the potential opportunity to earn an Ignition Core Certification - Participate in OSHA 10 safety training and other professional development opportunities as applicable - Learn commissioning, startup, deployment, and troubleshooting best practices from experienced field personnel - Gain practical exposure to mission-critical infrastructure environments - Participate in technical training, toolbox talks, and project coordination meetings - Demonstrate continuous improvement through feedback, learning, and hands-on experience Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget - Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned (maybe separate bullet) Actually "Completion of Assigned Tasks and Deliverables on Time and on Budget" then "Performs Other Related Duties as Assigned". We'll treat as two bullets. Now Position Requirements: - Interest in controls, automation, commissioning, PLCs, SCADA, and industrial systems - Basic understanding of electrical systems, networking, automation, or mechanical systems - Willingness to work in construction and commissioning environments - Strong communication skills and willingness to learn - Ability to work both independently and as part of a project team - Ability to travel to project sites as required Preferred (not Required): - Exposure to PLCs, SCADA systems, BAS, EPMS, or industrial automation systems - Familiarity with Rockwell Automation products - Exposure to Ignition, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, OPC UA, or industrial networking - Exposure to Git, Azure DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, or modern software deployment tools - Familiarity with APIs, JSON, MQTT, software integration concepts, or AI-assisted development - Previous internship, trade school, laboratory, military, or hands-on technical experience - Experience using hand tools, meters, testing equipment, or troubleshooting electrical systems Education / Experience Requirements: - Currently pursuing or recently completed technical education in: - Industrial Automation - Electrical Engineering - Mechanical Engineering - Controls Engineering - Engineering Technology - Computer Engineering - Industrial Technology - A related technical discipline DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES list: many items. This could be part of Qualifications or Benefits? It's more about what you'll learn/develop. Could be part of Qualifications (preferred) or maybe a separate section like "Learning Opportunities". But we have no heading for that. Could incorporate into Qualifications as "Development Opportunities". But we already have Qualifications for education/experience and preferred. Might be okay to add a subsection under Qualifications. But we must not create thin sections. We'll keep Qualifications containing education/experience requirements and preferred qualifications and development opportunities. Benefits: list as given. Pay: "The Pay Range For This Role Is 27.50 - 27.50 USD per hour(Remote (United States))". We'll output that. Schedule: Internship dates and travel requirement. Also location maybe. We'll include: Internship dates: May 17th, 2027 – August 13th, 2027. Location: Remote (work virtually from anywhere in the United States), Atlanta, GA, or Dallas, TX. Travel: Approximately 50–75% travel required based on project
