AI Automation Intern – Electrical Construction Operations

Facility Solutions Group (FSG) is one of the nation’s largest electrical contractors, and they are seeking a motivated intern to help integrate AI into their core electrical operations. The intern will build AI-driven tools that address challenges in electrical contracting, focusing on automated estimating, predictive labor analytics, safety monitoring, and smart procurement.

What you'll do:

• Develop and refine Computer Vision models to "read" electrical symbols on PDF blueprints, automatically counting outlets, fixtures, and conduit runs to generate instant material bids
• Use historical project data to build regression models that predict "man-hour" overruns based on building type, weather patterns, and NYC-specific logistical delays
• Implement real-time object detection for job-site cameras to ensure crews are following OSHA electrical safety protocols and wearing proper Arc Flash protection
• Build a recommendation engine to optimize the timing of copper and bulk material purchases based on market price fluctuations and project timelines

What they're looking for:

• Current Student: Junior or Senior pursuing a degree in CS, Data Science, or Electrical Engineering with a heavy focus on AI
• Python Expert: Ability to write clean, production-ready Python code
• The AI Toolkit: Familiarity with OpenCV (for blueprint analysis), Pandas (for labor data), and frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
• You must be able to commute to our NYC office/job sites
• The 'Hustle' Factor: Construction is fast-paced. We need someone who can iterate on models quickly and pivot when project requirements change
• A basic understanding of electrical systems (circuits, panels, voltage) is a major plus
