Event Description
The Port Authority of NY & NJ is hosting an information session on campus about the 2019 Engineering & Architecture Associates Program. We are looking for career-minded individuals with a passion and commitment to public service to join our distinguished Engineering & Architecture Associates Program! This is a two-year rotational program designed for students who expect to receive their degree in Fall 2018 or Spring 2019.
This program is a two-year commitment in which students apply to one of openings below in either design or construction. Associates spend their first year rotating across several different Port Authority facilities completing a series of work assignments on large- and small-scale projects involving different fields of construction and design. These work assignments are designed to expose you to the different functions of the Engineering Department and provide you with broad exposure to the various functions within engineering. In their second year, Associates begin working in their permanent assignment.
Our engineers and architects are responsible for providing services in preparation for engineering studies, preliminary designs, final contract drawings, and construction projects. Our engineers and architects are working on some of the largest projects in the region. As an Associate, you would have frequent opportunities to work alongside seasoned professionals helping you develop your professional credentials while giving you the opportunity to see "the big picture" of transportation infrastructure. Associates also have numerous educational and professional development opportunities, trainings, mentoring programs, and frequent opportunities to work alongside senior management.
