Life Science

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology products impact all our lives in some way. The projects that we execute deliver lifesaving products to patients globally. With 50 years of experience as innovators in biopharma facilities, our more than 3,800 skilled architectural, engineering and construction professionals continue to work with our clients to drive innovations in the industry. Jacobs provides a single source of responsibility for all services, from strategy and concept through site selection and evaluation, regulatory compliance, design, constructability, construction management, commissioning, validation and startup. We also provide operations support and asset management services, including plant engineering, maintenance optimization and traditional maintenance and turnaround services.

As the largest professional services provider to the biopharmaceutical industry, clients benefit from both our local presence and global reach. We offer a full range of design and construction services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide, with a complete focus on providing maximum value for our clients.

Your Impact

We are looking for a Process Engineering Intern to join our Jacobs Life Sciences group based in Conshohocken, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. Jacobs works with some of the biggest names in the Life Sciences, Biotechnology, and Pharmaceutical industries locally and worldwide. The role is intended to be a hybrid position, with 2-5 days a week spent in the Conshohocken office.

In this role, you will be paired with a process engineer peer mentor and be a part of a project team, helping to complete project deliverables. You will have the opportunity to learn how to read, understand and develop different deliverables including Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&ID), Equipment Lists and Equipment Data Sheets. As an intern, you will also be included in the Jacobs Life Sciences North America Process Training Program. This program gathers all of Jacobs young process engineers across the US to learn about different unit operations from Jacobs Subject Matter Experts. In addition, you will gain access to a library of previously recorded sessions and any new sessions that take place during your time with Jacobs.

At Jacobs Conshohocken, our intern program spans across various departments allowing for you, as a process department intern, to build connections and interact outside of just the process department. The intern program also includes presentations by each of the department managers, giving you a better idea of what this office does as a whole. At the conclusion of the program, all interns will reflect and summarize their experience via a presentation to their peers and the Conshohocken management team. One intern will then have the opportunity to represent the Conshohocken office while presenting their experience to Jacobs executives and representatives from the other Jacobs Life Sciences North America Offices.
