Objective
Improve “Back-of-House” facility operations of COSI by improving basic documentation of building structure.
COSI has been operating at the 333 W. Broad Street facility for ten years, and there have been changes to the building during that period. Unfortunately, many of the changes were not documented at a centralized location; but were documented as individual prints submitted by the respective contractors. This project will endeavor to combine all available resources to develop a current set of prints that reflects these changes. This position will serve as the first step of a process which will ultimately involve multiple intern positions documenting architectural, electrical and plumbing aspects throughout the building.

b. Candidate must display an understanding of the basic concepts and fundamentals of drafting, especially for the building construction industry.

d. Candidate must display a proficiency in the use of CAD software.
Essential Job Functions
a. Review previous architectural building design prints to identify deviations from original building design and current construction.
b. Work with Facility Operations and Exhibit Operations staff to refine understanding of current building construction.

d. Serve as an example to other COSI Team Members and Volunteers in matters of appearance, attitude, and performance in the mode that best serves COSI’s Team Members, Volunteers, and visitors.
e. Perform other duties, within the scope of position, as assigned by the Senior Director of Exhibit Operations.
Schedule:
