I am looking for an architectural/engineering student with Ecotect experiance that needs to do an internship (6 months to a year) as part of their studies.
I am an engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa, specialising in passive and low energy building design consulting to architectural design teams at concept design level. I get drawn into the early stages of the design as a specialist consultant in building physics before the regular consultants (electrical and HVAC) get drawn on board. Basically get to do the fun stuff (drawing up the strategies and influencing the architectural design) without doing the boring stuff (duct and pipe sizing.)
I have projects all over South Africa which vary from offices to retail to schools to museams and I am too busy too cope with it all at the moment.
You need to be interested in environmental design and have a reasonable proficiency in Ecotect. Speaking a bit of English would help too, but only enough to be able to communicate your ideas and understand what needs to be done.
This is really for students as it is difficult to get a working visa for a qualified person unless they have South African citizenship.


Interested In the Internship:
Dear Paul,
I am a Kenyan citizen currently hold a B.Arch with a 2 year experience in the field, but now I am persuing an MSc in Architecture, Energy and Sustainability course at the London Metropolitan University. I would be completing my course by September 2006 and do have some hands on experience with Eco-tect for about 6 month, studying impacts of developments on daylight and sunlight (BRE regulations). I Certainly haven’t touched on the thermal analysis issues, apart from a few weeks experience in TAS and ESP-r that’s about it. Apart from that I have 5 years experience with AutoCad, which helps me model my geometry asap.
If you think I make a good candidate please contact me
Regards,
Ali

Dear Paul,
I am an italian brand new graduated in environmental engineering and i am interested in your internship if you are still loking for someone. I have graduated last april and my project was the energy-study of an immaginary building located in Milan (led with eco-tect)finalized to find the best solution that matched energy efficiency, internal comfort, low costs and low environment impact of the analized building.
I speak english and spanish.
I am no longer a student, acutally, but if the problem is just about getting the visa I think I can solve it but subscribing a course...
let me know if you are still interested.
Regards
Marzia
