Startup Greece is placing an architectural engineer intern with one of its network companies in Tripoli, in the Peloponnese, starting 1 November 2026, with applications closing on 30 September 2026. At Youth Works Hub, we checked the organisation's registration and network figures alongside the listing so you know who is behind the placement and what the conditions are.
The distinctive part is the structure: you are hosted by a company in the network rather than by the organisation itself, and the listing sets performance indicators for an intern, which is rare.
The Organisation Behind the Placement
Startup Greece is a non profit civil partnership whose stated mission is to promote, connect and advance entrepreneurship for Greeks in tech. Its own pages carry the formal credentials.
🏛️ It is registered under the General Electronic Commercial Registry with number 154060558000.
🏅 It is accredited as an incubator by the Ministry of Development and Investments of the Hellenic Republic, under reference 2887/713 A1 dated 26 May 2020.
🤝 It is registered in the registry of Social and Solidarity Economy.
📊 It reports more than 1,500 supported startups, over 100 million dollars in startup funding, more than 50 angel investors and a direct impact on more than 200,000 people.
🎤 Its activities include SG Talks, Startup Greece Week, university programmes, delegations and an ecosystem map.
The placement itself sits with a member company of that network, which is why the listing describes the host as a Startup Greece network member rather than naming a firm.
What the Role Covers
You would support construction and infrastructure projects from concept and planning through to on site implementation.
📐 Assisting with architectural concepts and construction projects.
📄 Preparing plans, blueprints and technical drawings.
💻 Working in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit or similar software.
🚧 Conducting site visits and monitoring project progress.
📅 Supporting scheduling, budgeting and project management.
🔧 Providing technical input and solving engineering challenges.
👥 Collaborating with cross functional teams.
How Your Performance Is Measured
The listing publishes objectives and indicators, which is unusual for an internship and useful because it tells you what "doing well" means here.
✅ Delivering accurate drawings and tasks on time.
📉 Supporting projects within schedule and budget.
💡 Contributing innovative and practical solutions.
🤝 Collaborating effectively with project teams.
Who Can Apply
🎓 An academic background in architecture or a related field.
🗣️ Strong English and communication skills.
🖥️ Proficiency in the relevant drafting and design software.
🧠 Analytical thinking and problem solving.
📋 Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
⚡ The ability to work in a dynamic, fast paced environment.
🧑🎓 You should currently be enrolled in a bachelor's or master's programme, or have completed your degree within the past year.
Duration and the Two Numbers
⏳ The listing text sets a minimum of three months and a maximum of eight, with four months or longer strongly recommended.
📋 The structured duration field on the same listing says six months.
🕘 The commitment is full time at 40 hours a week.
The organisation's reasoning for recommending longer stays is stated directly: it lets interns immerse themselves fully in operations and understand the work before the placement ends.
Pay and the Laptop Clause
💸 The listing states plainly that the internship is unpaid.
💻 Interns are required to bring their own laptops, which is written into the requirements rather than implied.
🎁 What is offered instead is hands on construction experience, flexible hours, mentorship, training, regular feedback, event participation and networking.
According to Youth Works Hub's review of this listing, the laptop clause is worth noticing because it signals a small host company rather than a corporate placement with equipment budgets.
International Candidates
🛂 The listing states that international candidates can be hosted and that the necessary documentation will be provided, including a signed Learning Agreement and an invitation letter.
🎓 The programme is named as an Erasmus+ traineeship, so your own mobility grant is the funding route.
Where Tripoli Is
📍 Tripoli is the capital of Arcadia, in the centre of the Peloponnese peninsula, roughly two hours by road from Athens.
🏔️ It is an inland plateau city rather than a coastal resort, which keeps living costs well below Athens levels.
How to Apply
Applications go through the listing's own application route, with the advertisement posted by the organisation's recruitment side rather than by the host company. Since the host is a network member, say in your application which type of project you want: concept design, technical documentation or site work.
