Architecture and Structural Engineering Intern Internship

This position is expected to start August or September 2026 and continue through fall term (ending approximately December 2026 or later, if available).

All of this under the guiding principle of sustainability. You'll be working cross-functionally with various internal and external stakeholders, interfacing with end users, construction engineering, and manufacturing engineering while tracking the project schedule and overall success.
