Job description

Applications for 2026/27 will open by early 2026. We will update this page when our recruitment team is ready.

Are you ready to supplement your studies with real-world experience? PDD is offering a twelve-month Industrial Design Internship in our London studio, starting in the summer. This is a fantastic opportunity for design students to gain hands‑on experience, collaborate with industry experts, and contribute to meaningful projects across the healthcare and consumer sectors.

As an integral part of our industrial design team, you’ll work on a variety of design briefs, research projects, and innovation workshops. You’ll be involved in hands‑on problem‑solving, developing innovative and visually compelling solutions both as an individual and as part of multi-disciplinary project teams.

Your responsibilities will include interpreting design briefs, conducting research, producing high-quality sketches, storyboarding, and creating mood boards. You’ll use digital tools to enhance renderings, develop 2D layouts, and create conceptual 3D CAD models for high-quality renderings and animations. Physical model‑making and workshop activities will also form part of your role as you refine designs and develop prototypes.

We’re looking for passionate design students with a basic understanding of materials and manufacturing techniques, excellent communication and teamwork skills, and the ability to work independently on multiple tasks. Skills in physical model making, sustainability, branding, or UI design are a plus.

At PDD, you’ll work in a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment where your ideas and creativity will be valued. Gain the experience you need to take your design career to the next level.
