For those of you looking for internships over the summer, a trip to Seattle may be just the ticket. See below the advert:

Overview

Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is seeking talented applicants for two paid summer internship positions. The internships are open to current landscape architecture and architecture students, both in the United States and abroad. The GGN internship program will expose the intern to as many facets of modern landscape architectural practice as possible. Interns will work with GGN project teams to produce site plans, renderings, 3D and physical models, AutoCAD drawings and details, and presentations for our current projects. Interns will also gain experience working outside the office, by accompanying project managers on local construction site visits and project team meetings. At the end of the internship, each intern may prepare and give a presentation of their work to the office.

Eligibility

As we wish to support and enhance the educational experience of our interns, the positions are available to students currently enrolled in an accredited university degree program (both undergraduate and graduate), and who will return to school to complete at least one more quarter or semester after the internship has ended. GGN does not require that applicants receive academic credit for an internship; however, we will support any student that wishes to do so. Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States.

Location

The interns will work from GGN’s Seattle, Washington office. At this time, we cannot host interns in our Washington, DC office.

Work Schedule and Duration

An internship typically lasts two to three months during the summer. Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
