GREAT LAKES INTERN\/CO-OP PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great Lakes believes that Co-op programs serve as a great foundation for the student\u2019s career path. A co-op experience allows the student explore different opportunities while providing the employer a preview of a candidate\u2019s skills. Currently, 30 former co-ops have accepted permanent positions in our company including our President and Vice President of Operations.<\/p>\n

Great Lakes Construction offers paid internships and co-op opportunities to students currently enrolled in a two or four year college program that focuses on Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Technology, or related fields. Work location, level of responsibility and opportunity for future employment vary according to business needs.<\/p>\n

The Co-operative Educational Program\u2019s intent is to provide all Co-ops with the opportunity to work in various departmental areas in order to gain broad experience. We are looking for bright, articulate, ambitious, creative, hardworking, and ethical people who want to make a significant impact in a highly successful, very dynamic, and rapidly changing business.<\/p>\n

As a successful student, you can build upon your existing skills and explore valuable positions within our company.<\/p>\n

The position will entail use of general mathematics and science courses in addition to courses specific to the student\u2019s discipline. The individual will be placed on an active construction project assisting the Project Engineer in his\/her daily duties. A Project Engineer at Great Lakes Construction is responsible for measurement and reporting of all daily quantities of work performed, scheduling and coordination of all material deliveries, creation of daily production plans and reports, and maintaining project paperwork.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal of the student and Great Lakes Construction should be for the student to learn about the construction industry and how the course work relates to the work being performed, gain exposure and experience to the construction industry in anticipation of future full-time employment, and most of all, have fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
