Landscape Architect Intern

About the role

GBA is welcoming a Landscape Architecture student to join us for a summer internship based out of the Lenexa, KS headquarters office. With a focus on meaningful design, interns will have the opportunity to work on a variety of public and private projects ranging from open space and parks to net-zero community planning to public engagement, visioning, and design charettes. Interns will be integrated into a collaborative environment alongside architects, engineers, and surveyors where they will be immersed in hands-on design visiting a variety of in-progress construction projects ranging from streetscapes, and parks to structures and development. This internship can offer unique business and operational insights in a new and rapidly growing group alongside experienced and driven staff. At GBA Companies, we are not your average engineering firm. We are about innovative people who want to solve problems. We’re known for our technical excellence, but we bring so much more to the table. We strive to create remarkable solutions for a higher quality of life. And we are changing the industry by integrating the design and construction process with use of new technology. Our people are ambitious, passionate and committed to creating high quality, imaginative projects. We’ve created an environment where we celebrate our team’s eagerness to learn and grow. From birthdays and BBQs to protecting the environment and helping families in need, GBA employees celebrate and support one another and the communities where we live, work and play. Joining our team means you’ll have rewarding opportunities that challenge and inspire you.
