A Day in the Life of a Landscape Design Intern at Toole Design 

As an Intern, you will not be fetching coffee or sorting mail – we want you here for real, meaningful work. You’ll spend the summer working with landscape architects, planners, engineers, and urban designers on a variety of projects. All internships are paid positions. 

Your work may include fieldwork to document existing site conditions, sketching concept alternatives for a public park, preparing planting plans, creating materials for public meetings, or even helping develop graphics for street design guidance. Toole Design is a truly inter-disciplinary firm, so our landscape architects, urban designers, planners, and engineers work side-by-side to ensure that our projects are safe for all users, easily constructible, and fit in the community context. 

We’ll offer you the opportunity to work on a wide range of project types and work products, company-wide trainings on core skills and best practices, and career mentorship from the best in the business. You’ll get the opportunity to attend key project meetings and site visits; and grow your skills with design programs such as CADD programs, graphic design/simulation programs, and analysis/mapping programs. Best of all, you’ll get to work with colleagues who love what they do and can’t wait to introduce you to the field we care so much about.
