Summary

This Hendrickson Co-Op position within the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) is different than a traditional internship. The ATG Co-Op is ideal for students that want to obtain real-world work experience while they are in school. Co-Op opportunities are available year-round with terms that may include Fall, Winter and/or Summer. These work terms may alternate accordingly with the academic terms defined by your school's required Co-Op curriculum.

The ATG Co-Op program balances classroom theory with periods of hands-on experience to fulfill your program's graduation requirements. Hendrickson values sustained commitments, employee development, and internal promotions. To this end, we are looking for candidates who are interested in starting their career off right by gaining a much more in-depth work experience that allows them to put the skills they are learning in the classroom to practice in real-world application as they develop. The ATG Co-Op will work independently and in collaboration with Engineers.
