Meet Zachary Cobos, a Mechanical Engineering student at Arizona State University with a passion for construction, which he grew up around. His internship with #ACCOESArizona deepened his appreciation for #mechanical construction. Zach enjoyed working on progress tracking, fieldwork, and creating a system to log torque specifications using the HyTorc digital tool. Witnessing large-scale hydronic systems in action, such as the installation of chilled water risers and chillers, gave him valuable insights into the intricate planning and execution required for data center operations. Zach was also recently nominated as the founding president of the Arizona Mechanical Contractors Association (#AMCA) Student Chapter at #ASU. This opportunity allows him to inspire fellow students to explore the world of mechanical construction. Zach’s dedication and passion for learning make him a valuable member of the ACCO team. We look forward to seeing where his journey in mechanical construction takes him! #TeamACCOES
