Digital Construction Intern - Energy Infrastructure (m/f/d)

Workload: 60-100%, Baden, limited to 6 months

In the Digital Construction internship at Axpo Grid, you apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the energy sector and integrate digital models directly into real infrastructure projects.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Development of digital 3D models of energy infrastructures: You convert point cloud data into precise BIM models of substations, overhead lines and their components in Revit and/or Inventor.

• Enabling digital construction sites: You create and update digital construction packages in the openBIM format so that models, plans and technical information can be reliably used on site.

• Actively shaping standards: You further develop object libraries, modelling guidelines and digital process standards.

• Experience engineering in practice: You work on real infrastructure projects and coordinate with planners, engineering teams and subcontractors.

• Ensuring quality and progress: You conduct model checks, analyse data and workflows, and derive improvements for future projects.

• Making knowledge sustainably available: You document technical workflows, verification steps and lessons learned for cross-project reuse.

Profile & Requirements

• You are completing training or studies in civil engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, geodesy or a related field and are in the final semester of your bachelor’s or master’s degree or have recently completed it.

• You have a strong interest in Digital Construction, the BIM method and working with point cloud data.

• You bring practical experience with Revit or Inventor; knowledge of other Autodesk tools is an advantage.

• You enjoy writing clear, structured guidelines and process descriptions and are interested in process development and continuous improvement.

• You work independently, analytically and as part of a team.

• You have very good German skills in spoken and written form as well as good English skills, and you hold a valid work permit for Switzerland or the EU. Even if you do not meet all points, we look forward to your application.
