Internships

When spending your summer with GH2, you’ll experience firsthand what a day in the life of a professional architect or interior designer is genuinely like. You will be fully integrated into our design team, learning our process and working on various types and sizes of projects, all in different phases. GH2 makes it our top priority to ensure our interns have a well-rounded experience. Including real-time project work, attending client meetings, working on conceptual designs, attending site visits, and being immersed in GH2’s energetic firm culture.

From day one, we strive to fully engage our interns in the inner workings of our firm. To attain a clear view of the career of a full-time architect or designer, our interns are encouraged to attend client meetings, showcase their work, and contribute to multiple projects and interoffice communications, such as marketing and business development. Each summer (and other times throughout the year), we invite a group of college students to join our firm for internships in architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. GH2 also offers accounting, marketing, and HR internships as our teams’ availability allows. 

All three GH2 offices — Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Phoenix and Denver — are accepting applications for both emerging professionals and student interns. Our headquarters is in the historic 320 S. Boston building in the heart of downtown Tulsa. Between Tulsa and our offices in Oklahoma City on Film Row, Phoenix’s East Valley and Denver, we have a national team of over 100 architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and professional support team members.

This is an exciting time to be at GH2, and we will make every effort to provide a meaningful, informative, and fun internship experience!

Licensure

One of GH2’s longstanding traditions is our dedication to our team members who are working their way through the experience requirements for licensure. We believe that achieving licensure is of paramount importance, and GH2 has always provided our emerging professionals with support as well as the opportunity to work on a variety of project types and a wide range of professional practice activities. GH2 provides significant salary increases upon licensure. In addition, GH2 is recognized as an “Exemplary AXP Friendly Firm” by AIA Oklahoma.

Taking Care of our People

We encourage every person at GH2 to dedicate themselves professionally while leading a healthy and balanced life. This includes a flexible work schedule and the ability to work remotely. Our comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, vision, disability, HSA and flex spending, paid holidays, and paid time off. We also offer a 401k and twice-annual bonus opportunities.

In addition, collaboration inside and outside the office is an integral part of how we work and who we are.

We accomplish more as a team than we can individually. Everyone’s unique voice matters because it brings a balance and elevates the quality of our design.

People do their best when they are happy, appreciated and valued.

We have three words we live by:

Design.

Service.

Solutions.

They stand for ideas that drive us to constantly innovate while creating award-winning designs for our clients whether their projects are large or small.

Innovation is the reason we have received more than 100 industry and design awards, including the Firm of the Year Award for both Central Oklahoma and Eastern Oklahoma Chapters of the American Institute of Architects. These awards honor an architectural firm that sets itself apart through community involvement promoting architecture through leadership, vision and design.

We have a portfolio that represents thousands of projects across more than 15 different practice areas. Our clients range from individuals to public entities to international corporations. We also have dedicated specialty practice areas in hospitality, equine and historic preservation architecture, recognized nationally and internationally for their achievements. GH2 has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies and for four consecutive years, Interior Design Magazine, has recognized GH2’s interiors department on its Rising Giants list.

Within our three major disciplines, we offer traditional design services, as well as sustainable design, feasibility studies, architectural graphics and signage, building envelope analysis, and design visualization. As a college intern or full-time member, you will have the opportunity to practice a full range of services within your field of study.
