If you are looking to make a real impact, to challenge the status quo, and develop and implement solutions with real results, then an internship at Wendel is the right move for you!

Wendel is seeking an enthusiastic Architecture student to intern at our Minneapolis office for the spring or summer. We are looking for those who thrive in a fast-paced, team-focused, and collaborative studio environment.

As an intern, you'll have the opportunity to work on projects as a fully integrated member of the team, from initial design studies to construction documentation. More than most firms, we provide project leadership and encourage collaboration between all team members. We frequently work hand in hand with graphic designers, interior specialists, fabricators and other architects, many of whom are considered leaders in their respective fields.

Wendel’s internship program balances project work with education sessions about the field to create a comprehensive overview for our interns.

• Actively work on projects with team members in Minneapolis, but also with other architects in other offices.
• Collaborate with team members of all levels.
• Assist with actual project tasks, such as conceptual design, construction administration, detailing and red lines. These tasks are dependent on the projects in the office at the time of the internship.
• Develop a better understanding of the architecture field.

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree in Architecture at an accredited institution.
• Must be in good academic standing.
• Self‑starter, collegial, diligent, and eager to learn about the day-to-day realities of a career in architecture.
