Are you looking for an opportunity to excel?Do you want to gain valuable practical experience in the field of construction? Are you interested in getting a head start on meeting your career goals?
If the answer is yes, consider becoming a part of TEAM EMJ through our Cooperative Education Program. As a member of our team you will be given an opportunity to experience construction as it happens, while continuing your college education. We employ students in full time positions to work in both the office and the field. Our program is designed to provide the student with increasing job responsibilities that coincide with their academic successes.
Your first assignment will be in one of our four offices working closely with Project Managers and Estimators. Assisting them in the many tasks that take place on a daily basis. These tasks may include expediting the subcontracts and submittals, helping to resolve billings and payment issues on past and current projects, soliciting bids from suppliers and subcontractors, or preparing warranty manuals. You will also be given the opportunity to visit ongoing projects, and see first hand what up to now you have only experienced in the confines of the classroom.
Later assignments could be at one of our many jobsites located throughout the United States. There, you can be a part of a team that builds malls, power shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses or educational facilities. You will work directly for the Project Superintendent assisting him in maintaining quality control and safety on the job. You could also be involved in expediting materials to the project or supervising a crew of laborers. All of which is designed to give the student hands on experience they cannot get in a classroom.
Currently, EMJ is working with the Cooperative Education Departments at Auburn University, The University of Tennessee, Texas Tech University, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Colorado State University, San Diego State University, and Texas A&M in searching for motivated students who wish to supplement their education with real life experiences. However, we are always looking to expand our collegiate affiliations.
