Landscape Design Intern

About UsWe are a small, tight-knit landscape architecture boutique based in Glenview, Illinois. We work on a mix of commercial, municipal, and institutional projects all over the Chicago area, including schools, parks, churches, and public spaces. Because we are a small team, you won’t just be stuck in a corner doing redlines. You will get real, hands-on experience and work directly with everyone in the office.

What You'll DoWe need someone who can jump in and help us push projects forward. On any given week, you'll be:

• Helping us draft initial site layouts, master plans, and construction sets in AutoCAD.
• Building 3D models and renderings to help clients visualize our concepts.
• Putting together presentation graphics and materials for client meetings.
• Assisting with planting design ideas and basic site analysis.
• Helping keep our project files and office library organized.

What We’re Looking For

• You are currently studying landscape architecture or a related design field, or you recently graduated.
• You know your way around AutoCAD, which is our primary tool for production.
• You can build clean 3D models using SketchUp, Revit, or similar rendering programs.
• You have a good eye for presentation layout. Adobe Creative Suite is a big plus.
• You are organized, eager to learn, and not afraid to ask questions.

What’s in it for You

• Compensation: Competitive hourly pay starting at $18.00 to $24.00 per hour, commensurate with experience.
• Workplace Structure: This is a hybrid role based out of our Glenview office, blending in-office collaboration and drafting days with flexible remote work.
• Schedule: Part-time or full-time flexible hours designed to seamlessly accommodate your studio and class schedules.
• Growth: True mentorship, a look behind the scenes of how a boutique firm runs, and real project work to add directly to your professional portfolio.
