About the placement

This internship is with Particular Engineering, a small family business located on the Central Coast and facilitated by the CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program. Particular Engineering specialise in creating engineering solutions to reduce particulate matter in the air, both visible and invisible. They work closely with the mining industry to develop dust suppression solutions for underground and above-ground coal extraction.

As an intern at Particular Engineering, you will work on bespoke air filtration projects, gaining hands-on experience in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, and hydraulic systems analysis. You will be primarily working in the office, collaborating closely with the Chief Engineer. You will assist with the design of scrubbers, long walls, and other custom solutions, working predominantly with CAD to ensure the designs integrate seamlessly with client machinery. Your tasks will also include drafting, mechanical engineering calculations, fluid dynamics modelling, and hydraulic system computations. Through this placement, you will gain valuable experience in the design and application of air filtration solutions for the mining sector.

Work arrangements

  • Start date: Flexible but ideally as soon as possible. Part time from the beginning of April or full time in the mid-semester break.
  • Working arrangement: Full time or part time
  • Remuneration: $31/h + super on a part-time contract
  • Location: Somersby, Central Coast, NSW

Desired capabilities

  • Currently studying a degree in Mechanical or Mechatronics engineering or a related engineering field.
  • Proficiency in CAD software and drafting.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on fluid dynamics and hydraulic systems.
  • A positive, proactive, and energetic attitude.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Suite, AI and an understanding of coding
  • Strong communication skills and attention to detail.

Requirements

  • Must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
  • Must be in your penultimate or final year of an undergraduate qualification.
