Job Description

Looking for a familia?

At LUZCO, we’re more than an engineering firm. We’re a tight-knit team of people who care deeply about what we do and who we work with. As an award-winning, woman-owned, minority-owned boutique engineering firm, we’ve built a reputation for delivering world-class work while creating a culture that feels like home. We’re proud to be a place where you can bring your authentic self to work every day and feel supported doing it.

We’re proud to be recognized as a 2025 Best Place to Work in St. Louis, a reflection of our people-first mindset and our belief that work should be both challenging and fulfilling. Our mission is simple: to provide innovative engineering solutions while building genuine, lasting connections with our clients and each other.

Why You’ll Love LUZCO

Benefits that take care of you: Top-notch medical, dental, and vision insurance; a competitive 401k match; generous PTO; and an employee recognition platform that celebrates your wins big and small.
Flexibility that fits your life: We get that life doesn’t always stick to a schedule. You’ll work with your supervisor to create a schedule that’s flexible and works for both you and the team.
Diversity that fuels innovation: Our team brings together a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. That diversity isn’t just something we talk about; it’s what drives our creativity and helps us find better ways to solve problems.
Growth that feels personal: Whether you’re continuing your education, earning new certifications, or stepping into new challenges, we’re here to help you grow in the direction that’s right for you. You’ll collaborate with experienced mentors and leaders who want to see you succeed.
A culture that gives back: We’re passionate about our communities. Every year, we dedicate paid time off for volunteering and encourage our team to use their talents to make a difference whether that’s mentoring students, serving local nonprofits, or getting hands-on in community projects.
A workplace that feels like you: We keep things relaxed and welcoming. Expect weekly happy hours, team lunches, a stocked kitchen, dogs in the office, and a casual dress code. It’s a space where you can be yourself and do your best work.

The Role

We’re looking for a curious and motivated Electrical Engineering student to join our substation team as an intern. You’ll get hands-on experience on real high-voltage projects, assist with designs and documentation, and learn from engineers who love to teach. No prior design experience needed—just bring your curiosity, teamwork, and eagerness to jump in.

Where You'll Work

This internship is based at our Headquarters in St. Louis, MO, and will be an on-site role. The program is expected to run from mid-May through early August.

What Your Day Will Look Like

Assist with the creation and modification of one-line diagrams, conduit schedules, bills of material (BOM), layouts, relay panel arrangements, existing steel drawings, and cable lists for high-voltage substations (32.4–500 kV).
Support the preparation of engineering and construction estimate documents, including yard layouts, plans, section views, and electrical details.
Help draft and edit technical specifications for substation equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, and control houses under the guidance of experienced engineers.
Collaborate with engineers to support the integration of protection, control, and monitoring systems.
Apply field mark-ups to project drawings and perform basic engineering calculations (e.g., voltage drop, CT burden, lighting, short circuit) with supervision and mentorship.
Contribute to a collaborative team environment, with flexibility to assist with other tasks or roles as needed to support project goals.

What You’ll Bring to the Familia

Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering (minimum GPA 2.75).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Clear communicator with solid interpersonal skills.
Familiarity with Excel and AutoCAD is a plus.
No prior design experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to dive in.

Ready to Make an Impact?

We know you might not check every single box on the job description—and that’s totally fine. At LUZCO, we care about potential, collaboration, and diverse perspectives. If you’re passionate about joining a supportive and innovative team, we encourage you to apply and show us what you can bring to the familia.
