During my internship I worked primarily in a project engineering capacity, and was afforded opportunities to work with the Energy, Facilities and Manufacturing engineering teams on a variety of different projects. Key tasks included:- Contributed to the preparation of ISO 50001 energy management accreditation documentation with the energy engineering team.- Developed service agreements between the facility engineering team and external contractors.- Prepared user requirement specification documents in order to outsource contracts to external contractors for competitive quotes.-Utilised science of human error training course to complete a solo project on the design and validation of the clean room laminar air flow units, which accomplished a predicted 76% reduction in energy use.As a result of the work conducted during my internship I was awarded the Abbott Ireland Intern award.
