A Career Designed with You in Mind
At SSOE, we have an exceptional commitment to providing employment and learning opportunities to our co-ops and interns with high-quality work assignments, hands-on technical training, the necessary experience to complete your degree, professional development, and special assistance provided to eligible program participants and the institutions they represent.
Our Student Co-op / Internship Program runs all year round, and we benefit greatly from our partnership with local ABET-accredited universities that neighbor our various offices. We employ an average of nearly 30 co-ops / interns at any given time, providing them with scholarship opportunities and, as they continue their career with SSOE, tuition reimbursement.

“My experience as a co-op taught me a lot about what it’s like to work as a team. The atmosphere at SSOE is very open to collaboration, asking questions, and helping each other out. Through my co-op, I was able to work with an experienced interior designer who helped me develop many valuable skills beyond what I could have learned in the classroom.”
“I really benefited from the fact that SSOE is on the cutting edge in terms of using technology. In the course of my internship, I went from drafting in 2D to modeling 100% in 3D. I also saw for myself how important communication is when you’re part of an interdisciplinary team, and I had many opportunities to improve my skills in this area. Everyone encouraged me to ask as many questions as possible. That says a lot about what it’s like to be part of SSOE.”
“As a co-op, I learned more than I ever could in a lecture hall. The collaboration-driven culture at SSOE helped me develop my communication and team building skills, while making me feel valued, included, and empowered. I had the opportunity to take the lead on projects and gained hands-on experience with advanced technology platforms. Most importantly, I wasn’t perceived as just a student—I was part of the team. I couldn’t have asked for a better co-op experience.”
“For me, entering the Rotation Program was a great career move. It provided me opportunities to broaden my skills beyond my starting point in utilities engineering. I gained valuable experience and was able to lead projects in packaging and process engineering, communicating daily with an important client—an ideal situation for learning how to build strong client relationships.”
“One of the main reasons I enjoyed being a part of SSOE’s Student Co-op and Internship Program was the opportunity for learning and the new experiences it continually offers. As an intern, the projects I worked on involved communicating with our offices in China, India, and Mexico. I think few interns are exposed to how business is done on a global scale.”
“If you want to develop a more knowledgeable and versatile staff, our Rotation Program is the answer. The diverse project experience and interaction with both colleagues and clients that participants receive is very valuable to them and to SSOE. Being a mentor and an advocate for a participant is very gratifying. I see his or her accelerated development and know that it benefits the entire corporation.”
