Structural Design Graduation Internship

Design a sustainable platform canopy and contribute to stations that offer comfort and handle materials smartly.

• You will investigate existing platform canopies, materials, and opportunities for reuse or renovation.

• You will develop multiple structural design concepts and compare them on sustainability and performance.

• You will substantiate your design with calculations and create a technically feasible concept.

• You will translate your research into an attractive design for future station projects.

In this structural design graduation internship (architecture or civil engineering), you will design a platform canopy that is demonstrably more sustainable. You will investigate how materials can be used more smartly or how reuse and renovation contribute to less environmental impact. To do this, you will work out a structural design that is technically feasible and can serve as a concept for future station projects. In this way, you contribute to comfortable and future-proof stations.

• you are pursuing a master's degree in the direction of architecture or civil engineering;

• you analyze sharply: you investigate existing solutions and translate insights into design choices;

• you think creatively: you develop different concepts and investigate which solution works best;

• you work in a structured manner: you substantiate choices with visualizations, calculations, and clear arguments.

For you as a graduation intern in Architecture or Civil Engineering, there is a position in our Integrated Building Design department within the Structural Design team.

Within this department, approximately 75 colleagues work together on integrated design issues in the built environment. The team combines knowledge of construction, sustainability, manufacturability, and use. Together with the other teams in the department, they develop designs from the initial idea to a applicable concept. The atmosphere is open and involved. Colleagues share knowledge and actively contribute ideas regarding design choices. They work on projects for clients such as ProRail, Rijkswaterstaat, NS, Schiphol, and the Central Government Real Estate Agency. These projects are visible in public spaces and contribute to a future-proof Netherlands.
