Why do an internship in the first place?
Hans Peter: “I chose to apply for an internship at Ramboll Oil & Gas to get the opportunity to go more into depth with projects and analyses as well as to grab the challenge to develop my engineering skills in a new and complex industry.”
Thomas: “My main drive for an internship with a large engineering consultancy company like Ramboll was the opportunity to get an industrial and practical angle on my education. Engineering companies have a reputation of executing projects from start to end and I find this very motivating.”
How did you get the internship at Ramboll Oil & Gas?
Hans Peter: I participated in a company visit at Ramboll’s office in Aalborg. Here I heard about the position in Ramboll Oil & Gas.
Thomas: One of my professors at the university had a contact in Ramboll Oil & Gas and that was actually my way to the internship.
What tasks and projects do you do in the internship?
Hans Peter: “I work in the structure department, so my main tasks so far have been to analyse sub-sea structures for platforms. I have been involved in several projects that have been both challenging and complex, and it has given me knowledge about a new side of engineering to me.”
Thomas: “I have many different assignments, both small and bigger projects. I think the division of both exciting and more basic tasks gives a good picture of the real-life situation in an engineering company. The results contribute to add value to the company, and I feel that both parties gain from the internship. Point clouds can hardly be spared in offshore as-built projects today as they provide precise measurements that can be converted to 3D models and used in planning and re-analyses.”
