About EPX at DLR Group 
Each person who works at DLR Group has a design voice, and we can’t wait to help you define and amplify yours.

You will gain experience on projects large and small, in various phases of construction. We also hope to give you experiences outside of the typical internship in your discipline – from helping on a business development or marketing pursuit, planning an event for your office, or sharing your ideas on what the future of design services looks like.
