Our New Intern

Boiled Architecture’s first summer internship is off and running.  We had 28 applications for our internship.  After interviewing the 3 top applicants, we are excited to announce that Jacob Green will be the newest member of our team.

Jacob Green graduated with his M.Arch from the Academy of Art in San Francisco.  His received his B.A. from Brigham Young University, double majoring in mathematics and Chinese.  Yes, he may be one of the few architects who is good at math.

His previous work experience was in marketing and online communications, and his personal background is even more diverse than his educational and professional experiences.

Jacob is an Air Force brat who grew up in such exotic places as Turkey, Taiwan, and London.  He speaks, reads, and writes Mandarin.  He has a talent for hand drawing.  He does Skype interviews in his kitchen in full suit and tie.  Welcome to our team!

Architecture Internship

Description
We (Boiled Architecture) are looking for an intern to join our startup architecture firm. The duration of the internship is flexible  around the candidate’s availability.  If possible, we do hope to exploit our intern for at least 6 months.

Deadline for submission is April 13th.

The Gig

• The pay is $450/week for 30 hours of work per week.
• We don’t have an office; we have a membership to a coworking space and a lot of electronic communication devices.  So some of your work will be face-to-face with us and other times you’ll be virtually tethered to us.

• You get to learn about architecture, including the business side of it.  How cool is that!?  
• We are really great to work with, we love mentoring, and we actually take the time to explain stuff to you.  
• At the end, you get a raving letter of recommendation and some resume fodder.
• In return, we get to offload some of our work to a willing sucker [that’s you].

You Must Be

• Awesome to work with
• Confident on the phone
• In possession of “initiative.”  That’s business speak for “asks for help when things are unclear, asks for resources when needed, looks for a way to improve things instead of waiting to be instructed to do so”
• Proficient with Excel, Word, Skype, and the internet in general
• Have working knowledge of how to slay those Wordpress templates.  Damn things confound me.

Would Love it if You Were

• Able to program custom applications by accessing the API of various web applications we use
• Good with Photoshop and Illustrator
• Decent with Revit

Duties
Logistics (Herding Cats) :

• Call people to set up appointments, track down overdue invoices, basic research to help us conquer the world
• Update the website to keep it current
• Enter payroll
• Track licensing and professional membership continuing education credits
• Attend and document weekly company meetings
• Check in with each project and make sure our web-based bulletin board (we use Podio.com) is always current

Marketing Stuff:

• Create press releases
• Identify clients to target
• Help create brochures and proposals

Improve Operations:

• Help develop a system to measure project success
• Help create project checklists and templates
• [IF POSSIBLE] Create custom applications to help us track our financial metrics and business development activities
