Internship Program

“My internship with O’Connell Robertson allowed me to explore a different side of design and geared me with the integral skills needed to excel as an interior designer. I had the opportunity of going on site visits, sitting in on client meetings, and understanding communications between all disciplines working on a common goal. The work that is done in the San Antonio office for the community is invaluable and the people who work here are full of passion and knowledge to share.”

“I interned with O’Connell Robertson my 3rd and 4th year of college before deciding to join the electrical team full-time. Their excellent balance of education in best design practices, industry modeling programs, and on-site field observations made the transition to a full-time career seamless. Can’t say enough about the outstanding people and culture that made interning here an entirely rewarding experience.”

“Throughout the last year, I have had the opportunity to work under all three divisions of making up MEP design; this experience has proven to be unimaginably helpful when it comes to considering the amount of effort and coordination that go into the development of such large projects.”

“During this summer internship, I gained the most educational experience from those around me but mostly from my mentor Steve. He was not only patient with me when I didn’t quiet grasp something but expanded my knowledge by giving me different things to work on.”

“During most of the summer I worked on Applied Learning Academy, and I got to be a part of the kickoff meetings and the charrette meetings. It was in the very first one that I got to experience just how much collaboration is needed in a project from the very beginning, all the planning that is required, especially in a project that includes the renovation of an existing structure but also includes an addition.”

“My summer internship with O’Connell Robertson’s San Antonio team solidified my desire to become an architect. The experience of working with clients and stakeholders, coordinating with the engineering team, and visiting sites has given me a greater appreciation for architecture and what it takes to carry out a project in each phase of design. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience as an intern; O’Connell Robertson has an outstanding culture.”

“My experience working in both the architecture and engineering departments at O’Connell Robertson allowed me a unique opportunity to gain a broad understanding of the design process. It was exciting to learn about and work on projects in all phases of design and construction. The collaborative environment allowed me to develop a new perspective on the industry.”

“I interned with O’Connell Robertson in the Interior Design department the summer before my last semester at Texas State University. I had such a wonderful experience with the team that my internship turned into a full-time position after I graduated. I’ve been with the firm for almost three years now, and I’m on track to becoming a Registered Interior Designer. O’Connell Robertson made my transition from school to career extremely enjoyable and smooth as everyday has been a new learning experience.”

“Even after my fourth summer as an intern, O’Connell Robertson has continued to aide me in my professional development as an aspiring mechanical engineer. The experience had a great balance of collaborative projects, hands on field work, and applied technical skills. Working here has made me confident in my ability to operate in a professional workspace.”
