San Francisco, CA

Full Job Description

DLR Group is an integrated design firm with a promise to elevate the human experience through design. This fuels the work we do around the world and inspires our mission to improve the lives of our clients, our communities, and our planet. If this sparks your interest, you’re in the right place.

DLR Group’s San Francisco studio has an opening for an Architectural Design Summer Intern. We have multiple positions and locations available; please refer to all openings posted and apply to the locations that are most suitable to your living situation during the course of your internship.

About EPX at DLR Group 
Each person who works at DLR Group has a design voice, and we can’t wait to help you define and amplify yours. Whether it’s through a design charrette, a client meeting, an internal project review, or working through a building detail, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts (ha!) of putting together a building, while being part of something larger than yourself. You will gain experience on projects large and small, in various phases of construction. We also hope to give you experiences outside of the typical internship in your discipline – from helping on a business development or marketing pursuit, planning an event for your office, or sharing your ideas on what the future of design services looks like. 

Position Summary 
As a DLR Group Summer Intern, you will be an important part of our integrated design team and will help produce designs for commercial, educational, and municipal buildings of all sizes and complexities. Our Summer Internship Program is a paid, full-time opportunity running from May 20 through August 8, 2025. We expect interns to participate throughout the duration of the program. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow, learn and contribute your design voice to our brand promise of Elevating the Human Experience. 

What you will do:

  • Collaborate with other design team members in the integrated design process for various projects 
  • Develop proficiency in primary design tools such as Revit, Enscape, and proprietary DLR Group design tools and methods 
  • Create presentation materials using SketchUp and Adobe Creative Suite to support design efforts 
  • Support project pursuits and contribute to business development opportunities 
  • Engage in project and site meetings to ensure effective communication and coordination 
  • Explore and gain a deeper understanding of construction documentation and processes 

Required Qualifications: 

  • Enrolled in a Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture degree program (NAAB-accredited university strongly preferred) 
  • Completed 3 years of design education prior to the start of the internship 
  • Experience with Revit 
  • Experience with Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office 
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States without need for work visa or residency sponsorship 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience with SketchUp, Enscape, Rhino, or other design software 
  • Excellent visual, verbal, and non-verbal communication skills 
  • Previous internship/commercial design experience 
  • Experience with Mural (visual collaboration software) 

*TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE SUBMIT A CURRENT PORTFOLIO, PREFERABLY IN PDF FORMAT*
