CareerDC Internships charge a fee for the coordination of each internship program. You will get a tailored resume, interview training, unlimited interviews, access to our network of host companies, an internship placement relevant to your studies, an accredited WIL course where applicable and support during your internship.

Get hands-on work experience as you apply what you’ve learned during your engineering degree to real-world engineering tasks and challenges. Experience working alongside seasoned engineers and other established professionals. 

The Mechanical Engineering Internship Program is designed for international engineering students in Australia to gain local work experience relevant to their engineering studies. It's a good option if you want Australian work experience and academic credit for the internship. Domestic students are also welcome to apply.

If your degree does not have an internship component, or if you have graduated already, you can enrol for the internship program and combine it with an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program. 

To give you some examples, the Mechanical Engineering internship host companies include: 

• A company that designs and manufactures precision-engineered products for clients in the automotive and building industries;
• Mechanical engineering company with hundreds of industrial, commercial and residential maintenance contracts; and
• A company that specialises in the development and administration of intelligent HVAC solutions;

As another example, and depending on the host company, your internship could see you learn and get hands-on experience in any of the following types of tasks:

• Learning about developing a project specification with colleagues from other engineering disciplines.
• Learning about project management and how to discuss and solve problems.
• Assisting product managers and technicians with product inspections and functional testing.
• Learning about reviewing quotations and measuring against specifications and drawings.
• Assisting with the preparation of documentation and transmittals.
• Getting hands-on experience in conducting experiments and evaluations to improve and innovate product designs.
• Assisting with the creation of plans and designs using CAD technology. 

The internship program is facilitated by CareerDC, work experience placement coordinators. We’ve helped thousands of students in Australia since 2011 to gain study-relevant internship placements.

The Mechanical Engineering Internship Program will be matched with your internship needs and preferences, including location, length and start date.
