Align your degree with DLR's disciplines
DLR Group hires interns across architecture, structural engineering, MEP, and interior design. Make sure your transcript and portfolio clearly reflect one of these disciplines, since H-1B sponsorship later depends on your degree matching your role.
Confirm CPT eligibility before your start date
If you're on F-1 status, CPT authorization must be in place before your first day. Work with your DSO early so your offer letter dates align with your program's CPT approval timeline, avoiding gaps that could affect your work authorization.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open intern roles
DLR Group posts intern openings across disciplines and locations on a rolling basis. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for DLR Group intern positions that support visa sponsorship, so you're applying to roles where the pathway is already confirmed.
Negotiate your offer with OPT timing in mind
F-1 OPT applications take up to 90 days to process through USCIS. If your internship converts to a full-time offer, make sure your start date gives you enough runway to file and receive your Employment Authorization Document before you begin working.
Prepare an I-9 document packet before your first day
DLR Group uses E-Verify for employment eligibility. Have your List A or combined List B and C documents ready before onboarding. Delays in presenting valid documents can hold up your start date even after your offer is signed.

Find Intern at DLR Group JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does DLR Group sponsor H-1B visas for Interns?
DLR Group does sponsor H-1B visas, though sponsorship at the intern stage is less common than for full-time hires. Many international interns start on F-1 CPT or OPT and transition to H-1B sponsorship after converting to a full-time role. If you're targeting a long-term path at DLR Group, an internship is a practical first step toward that conversion.
How do I apply for Intern jobs at DLR Group?
Applications go through DLR Group's careers portal, where roles are listed by discipline and studio location. You can also browse visa-sponsored intern openings at DLR Group through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for positions open to international candidates. Tailor your portfolio and resume to the specific discipline and studio you're targeting, since hiring decisions are made at the studio level.
Which visa types are commonly used for Intern roles at DLR Group?
F-1 CPT is the most common authorization for students interning during their academic program. F-1 OPT covers post-graduation internships or those taken during the final semester. TN visas apply to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying architecture and engineering roles. H-1B sponsorship is available but typically applied at the full-time hire stage rather than during the internship itself.
What qualifications does DLR Group expect from Intern candidates?
DLR Group looks for interns enrolled in or recently graduated from accredited architecture, engineering, or planning programs. Proficiency in Revit is expected for most roles, and familiarity with AutoCAD, Rhino, or BIM workflows adds weight to your application. Studio experience or academic projects in sectors DLR works in, such as healthcare, education, or civic design, makes your portfolio more competitive.
How do I time my application around my visa authorization window?
If you're on F-1 CPT, your DSO must authorize your CPT before you start, so apply two to three months before your intended start date. For OPT, USCIS recommends filing up to 90 days before your program end date. Aligning your application timeline with your authorization window prevents gaps between your offer acceptance and your legal ability to begin working.
