Marc did an excellent job during his summer internship as a mechanical engineering intern. Great job and best of luck!
Jack Corcoran
I was fortunate enough to work with Marc during his internship at AMA Group during the summer or 2023. During his time at AMA Group he was responsible for a myriad of tasks including cooling/heating load calculations, zoning diagrams, ductwork and pipe sizing, drafting in AutoCAD and Revit, and compiling full HVAC drawing sets. By the end of the summer he was able to assist me with a 11,000SF tenant fitout project that included surveying the site, performing the load calculations, obtaining equipment selections, drafting ductwork and piping in AutoCAD, and checking duct and pipe sizes. He performed tasks above and beyond what was expected at an intern level. His eagerness to work and curiosity to learn made working with him easy. Tasks were completed efficiently and he was never shy about asking questions. Marc was a pleasure to work with and I’m sure his intelligence, hard work, and determination will shine whichever workplace he chooses to be.
