About The Position

DLR Group's Minneapolis studio has an opening for a Mechanical Engineering Summer Intern.

Through hands-on project work, mentorship, and learning experiences, you’ll gain exposure to the people, disciplines, and ideas that shape the built environment. You may participate in design discussions, project meetings, site visits, business development efforts, office activities, and other experiences that broaden your understanding of the design profession. The program combines three core components: mentorship, project work, and weekly learning sessions.

Along the way, you’ll hear from leaders and integrated designers across DLR Group and build connections with fellow emerging professionals.
