Job description

Build Your Future. Build the Skyline. Build with Enclos.

Are you currently enrolled in a 2-year or 4-year program and looking to take what you've learned in the classroom into the real world? The Drafting & Design Internship at Enclos is your chance to get hands-on with cutting-edge façade design while contributing to some of the most iconic buildings in the U.S.

This isn't a coffee-run internship. You'll be part of the team, learning, collaborating, and building the skills to jumpstart your career in architecture, drafting, or engineering.

About Enclos

Enclos is the leading façade contractor in the United States, specializing in the design, engineering, fabrication, and installation of custom curtainwall systems. With a legacy spanning generations, we've delivered hundreds of award-winning projects that have redefined what's possible in architecture, including:

• World Trade Center Transit Center – New York City
• Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture – Washington, D.C.
• Allegiant Stadium – Home of the Las Vegas Raiders
• 30 Hudson Yards – New York City
• Chase Center – San Francisco

When you join Enclos, you don't just work on buildings - you help shape landmarks.

What You'll Experience

• Start with Training: Learn the basics of curtainwall façade design, our engineering tools, and how departments work together.
• Explore Engineering: Rotate through different focus areas - design, fabrication, BIM, kinetics, and thermal engineering.
• Get Hands-On: Work with CAD programs, tackle real project work, and contribute to the technical design of monumental buildings.
• Build Industry Knowledge: Sit in on project meetings and specialist team discussions for a behind-the-scenes look at how major construction projects come to life.
• Shape Your Path: Toward the end of the program, focus on the areas that spark your interest most.

By the end of the internship, you'll walk away with a strong foundation in design and drafting, and insight into career opportunities with Enclos.

What You'll Gain

• Practical experience with CAD programs like Inventor, Revit, AutoCAD, and Rhino.
• Real project exposure - not just practice exercises.
• Connections with engineers, designers, and construction professionals across multiple departments.
• A head start on your career: successful interns may be invited back part-time during the school year or considered for full-time roles after graduation.

What We're Looking For

• Current enrollment (or recent graduate) in a 2- or 4-year program in Architectural Drafting, Mechanical Drafting, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Ability to read architectural or mechanical drawings/blueprints.
