R&D Life Cycle Assessment Intern

We are currently looking for an intern to join our R&D team, focusing on Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
Copenhagen, Denmark

Good architecture is sustainable architecture.  At Henning Larsen, we consider sustainability as a design driver, working to ensure that all project phases are qualified in terms of sustainability.

If you are interested in our design with knowledge philosophy and wish to be part of our R&D team, we invite you to join us for a 6-12 month internship. You will be part of a dynamic and dedicated group of architects, urban planners, landscape architects, computational designers, anthropologists, and sustainability engineers working on the development of esteemed international projects and competitions. We are looking for an intern who wants to work with sustainability and Life Cycle Assessments on Henning Larsen projects.

You will work within the following focus areas:

• LCA calculations of buildings and building components. (Assist in evaluating the environmental impacts of different materials and construction systems throughout their entire lifecycle—from raw material extraction to disposal or recycling.) You have experience with either LCAByg or One-click-LCA.
• Material knowledge exploration, through meetings with manufacturers and EPD data. (Engage in research, conferences, and meetings with material manufacturers to deepen understanding of sustainable building materials.)
• Early-stage assessments, structuring inputs, and quantifying design solutions
• Data collection and reporting (Support the team in gathering, analyzing, and organizing LCA data using specialized software (e.g., LCAbyg, One Click LCA) and prepare sustainability reports internally and for clients.

About you
You are currently a student enrolled in a relevant education program and will remain enrolled throughout the internship.

You’re motivated to learn and develop your skills. You thrive in dynamic and energetic work environments.

Your communicative skills of results are good. That said, we will teach you how to develop these skills further.

We welcome applicants of all nationalities, but given the international character of our studio, candidates must be fluent in English. Revit/Rhino knowledge, sustainable building design, and Danish are a plus.

What can you expect from the internship?
We offer intern positions for 6-12 months in our Copenhagen office, with the opportunity for extension. You will be part of a curious and multidisciplinary department, where architecture and engineering work together to develop sustainable cities and buildings.

Henning Larsen is a dynamic, international studio where you, as an intern, will get the opportunity to work with sustainable design in international projects and competitions. The goal is for you to develop competencies within a variety of fields, be able to work independently with LCA calculations, and communicate results effectively to our design teams. At the same time, you can expect gaining an in-depth understanding of how we design with knowledge in practice.

Start date: August 2026.

The internship is paid
