  GeoCollect GmbH

  Sept 2016 - Feb 2017

  Intern

  GeoCollect GmbH is a geothermal energy company specialized in near-surface systems. During this internship, I acquired skills of three different dimensions. First, I worked in Rudersberg, Stuttgart where the company's factory is located. Here, I gained insight on the technical and financial aspects of the geothermal energy system itself by closely following the engineers during the application process for EU subsidies. Besides that, I helped with activities such as inventory making, storage and loading of material. Secondly, during my time in Chemnitz, I closely collaborated with the marketing and sales manager of the company. We promoted the GeoCollect Absorber system at technical fairs and company visits across the country. Additionally, we carried out construction site supervision and played an active role in laying out the system in the ground and welding the connections. Finally, I worked in the headquarter office in Hamburg. Here, I mainly gained insights on the administrative aspect of running such a company. Show less

Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition by bringing together the right partners from the academic and business world to integrate and innovate in the construction environment.

In the first two years of my Bachelor Programme, I followed the energy specialisation track offered by the Mechanical Engineering Department. This track consists of a series of subjects deepening knowledge on fluid mechanics. Working on Team Casa’s heating/cooling and ventilation systems gave me the perfect opportunity to put into practice knowledge acquired from the courses on Transport Phenomena and Thermodynamics.
