Summer Intern

Neumann Monson Architects is seeking undergraduate architectural students for Summer Internship positions to join our Iowa City and Des Moines, Iowa locations.  Our practice is a fully immersive design studio with a young, diverse, creative, and community-minded team passionate about architecture and our impact on society.  We approach design through a pragmatic, Midwestern ethos aiming to create buildings composed with only the essential components.  This process is built upon our values of building trust, driving responsible change, and redefining excellence.

Preferred candidates are team-oriented, enthusiastic, and possess a vigorous work ethic.  We look to identify positive-minded individuals with strong interpersonal skills, and the confidence to engage with a fast-paced, dynamic environment that does not always fall within the bounds of a 9-5 workday.  Candidates should have strong design and graphic abilities, rigorous craft, and developed model-making skills.  Fluency in written and spoken English is essential, with other language fluencies being an asset.

As a Summer Intern, you will be engaged in all aspects of the design process and given the opportunity to make significant contributions to our projects by utilizing your unique talents and abilities. The selected candidate will work as a team member on projects in different design phases – producing drawings, renderings, presentations, and building physical and digital models. Selected candidates will report directly to their project leader and the partner in charge of the project. The advertised position is for in-person candidates.

Candidates must have experience with:

Revit

3D modelling software (SketchUp, Rhino, etc.)

Rendering with Lumion, Enscape, D5 or similar software

Adobe Creative Suite (primarily Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)

MS Office Suites

Familiarity with coding (Dynamo, Grasshopper) and environmental modelling software (Sefaira, Insight) is considered an asset, but not required.

Applications without proven experience and proficiency in the aforementioned software will not be taken into consideration.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is of the greatest importance to us. As a JUST™ organization, Neumann Monson Architects celebrates our diverse team and welcomes all applicants warmly.
