Architectural Designer Intern (Summer 2027)
About The Position
High Concrete is seeking an Architectural Design Intern to join its team in Denver, Pennsylvania, for Summer 2027. The intern will work alongside experienced designers and project teams to learn about the complete precast concrete design process, participating in production, design, modeling, detailing, and field observation activities. The role provides exposure to how architectural and structural precast projects progress from contract documents through fabrication and erection. The internship includes two primary projects: modeling a fictitious garage from scratch and producing erection drawings, and producing piece tickets for real projects in production. Training activities include High Concrete Academy, learning to read and understand contract documents, and modeling in Tekla. Interns will also attend mentoring sessions with current Architectural Designers. By the end of the internship, participants are expected to have a foundational understanding of how precast concrete projects are designed, detailed, manufactured, and erected. They will gain hands-on experience with industry software, practical modeling and detailing skills, and an understanding of how design information supports production and construction.
