Mechanical Engineering Co-Op

Are you a Mechanical Engineering student with a passion for building design?

Mechanical systems and design are an integral part of building design. We are looking for top notch talent to join our cooperative education program.

Jordan & Skala Engineers works with students from Cooperative Education Programs across the country to give them a jump start in our industry and competitive advantage in the job market! Our co-op students work alongside professionals in their degree fields as well as in interdisciplinary teams giving the students a rich experience in the consulting engineering field.

What does a co-op experience look like at Jordan & Skala?

Semester One

The student will become acclimated to the consulting engineering workplace, legal codes, design concepts, and improve skills in the daily utilization of AutoCAD and Revit. Students are assigned a mentor to work with learning through observation, instruction, and experience. The students are encouraged to discuss skills and goals with their mentor in order to maximize their experience with Jordan & Skala. Our mentors’ doors are always open for questions and we strive to take our co-ops to a site visit. As a co-op student you will also be able to network with other co-op students and industry leaders, attend lunch and learns, and participate in company events.

Semester Two

The student will continue to become familiar with codes and calculations and work more independently on projects in AutoCAD and Revit.

Semester Three

The student will work more independently, will implement knowledge from previous semesters to review shop drawing submittals, design layouts, and complete calculations. In every semester, we encourage our co-op students to ask questions and learn from the professionals they will work alongside.

By working with us for three or more alternating semesters, students gain at least a year’s worth of valuable, professional work experience in their major. Our desire is that after graduation our co-ops will become full-time employees of Jordan & Skala Engineers.
