Dear Julien,

This letter documents our offer for employment with Clean Air Engineering as an engineering intern for the summer of 2003. The approximate dates of the program will be from June 23 thru September 5, 2003.

 
Our Illinois office recruits students for internship and cooperative educational programs. Students will work with our engineers, chemists and instrument technicians on various projects in a team environment.

We look for students interested in learning and performing air emissions measurements using Continuous Emission Monitors (CEM), Gas Chromatography (GC), Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR), and wet chemistry. We quantify acid rain precursors, organics, metals, and particulate emissions using grab samples and/or continuous monitoring.  The work includes instrument setup, instrument troubleshooting, data acquisition automation, equipment calibration, database design and data reporting. Students will generally visit one or more industrial plants each month.

The work is challenging, often requiring physical labor in process facilities or outdoors climbing of emission stacks. Each student will be assigned a Clean Air mentor for the duration of the internship. After initial training, students will be expected to demonstrate a working knowledge of the air quality requirements for each visited facility, and will develop a training document focusing on an industrial process. This is an opportunity to gain experience in environmental measurement and air emission control system engineering.

This position of engineering intern will involve some travel. We offer compensation for your internship at a salary of $500.00 per week. We do not offer any housing or subsistence when working in the Palatine office. We also do not pay for your travel to or from France.

Julien, you will initially be assigned to our company leadership team which we designate Team 90.   This team also initiates our new business ventures, forms partnerships with other organizations and provides assistance to startup teams and other teams with new initiatives.

Some of the possible projects are large engine testing, instrument automation, rental software deployment and continuous stack flow monitor product support and CE mark certification.

Our offer of employment is conditioned upon your satisfactory completion of pre-employment physical (medical exam) including substance abuse screening.
 
I believe CleanAir will provide you both a challenging and rewarding opportunity.
 

Sincerely,
 
CLEAN AIR ENGINEERING
