Intern - Data Center CAD & 3D Modeling - Full-time / Part-time

About the Position: We are seeking a Data Center CAD & 3D Modeling Intern to support the DCIM team in standardizing and improving facility documentation across Cologix’s growing data center portfolio. This role is designed for a student with strong AutoCAD and 2D drafting skills who is interested in gaining hands-on experience working with real-world architectural and electrical drawings in a supportive, guided environment. The intern will assist with converting existing drawings from multiple sites into newly defined Cologix CAD standards. These drawings originate from different acquisitions and engineering firms, providing a unique opportunity to learn how documentation is unified and maintained at an enterprise scale. Exposure to 3D models, LiDAR data, and digital twin concepts will be provided as part of the learning experience, but advanced 3D skills are not required. This internship will run for up to 10 weeks, up to 40 hours per week, commencing on or around June 8th and concluding by August 14th. Why This Internship Matters: This internship offers hands-on experience helping build consistent, accurate facility documentation that supports operations and future growth at Cologix. Interns will work with real drawings used across live data centers while being supported by experienced team members who provide structure, feedback, and mentorship. It’s an excellent opportunity to strengthen CAD skills, learn industry standards, and see how technical documentation supports large-scale infrastructure.
