Architectural Designer Intern (Summer 2027)
About The Position
High Concrete is seeking an Architectural Designer Intern for Summer 2027 at its Denver, Pennsylvania location. The intern will work with experienced designers and project teams and gain exposure to the precast concrete design process, including production, design, modeling, detailing, and field observation. The role provides insight into how architectural and structural precast projects progress from contract documents through fabrication and erection. The internship includes two primary projects: modeling a fictitious parking garage from scratch and producing its erection drawings, and producing piece tickets for real projects in production. Interns will also take part in training exercises covering High Concrete Academy, reading and understanding contract documents, and modeling in Tekla. Sit-down mentoring sessions with current Architectural Designers are included. By the end of the program, interns are expected to develop a foundational understanding of how precast concrete projects are designed, detailed, manufactured, and erected, along with hands-on industry software experience and practical modeling and detailing skills. Summer events include a welcome lunch, facility tours, a full-day professional development and networking event, and an intern presentation day.
