Ambitious Architecture Student with a Passion for Architecture & Transformation

Are you ambitious, curious and eager-to-get it build? And do you get excited about transforming existing buildings and places?

From 1 February 2027, V8 architects will have internship positions available for TU Architecture students, preferably towards the end of their bachelor’s degree or at the beginning of their master’s. At V8, we believe in transforming existing areas and buildings so they can adapt to the future. Don’t throw away what has value. Because we believe this is part of the solution to the scarcity of space, energy and resources in our world.

What will you be doing?
We work on a wide range of architectural projects, with a particular passion for transformation and redevelopment.
As an intern, you will become part of our project teams and work on different stages of the design and construction process. You will take part in design sessions and meetings, develop models and drawings, and see how designs evolve through discussions with clients, consultants and contractors.
You will be supervised by one of our architects and/or team members. We are looking for someone who is curious about the profession, takes initiative and is ambitious to further develop as an architect.

Who are we looking for?
For us, it starts with a genuine passion for architecture. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is eager to learn and wants to become better at the profession.

• you are studying Architecture, preferably towards the end of your bachelor’s or at the beginning of your master’s;
• you are ambitious, curious, precise and able to work independently;
• you have an interest in transformation and redevelopment;
• knowledge of Revit, Rhino and Adobe Creative Suite is a plus;
• you have a good command of English;
• preferably, you are available full-time for six months; 32 hours per week is negotiable.

What do we offer?
Ambitious projects, including many transformation projects, good supervision and, above all, an inspiring workplace where there is plenty to learn. You will work in an international team with an informal atmosphere and a flat organisational structure.
In addition, we offer an internship allowance, shared lunch, project visits and drinks, a great workplace at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge, and the opportunity to join our weekly bootcamp underneath the bridge.
