Fall 2026 Automation & Controls Project Management Co-op

McKenney's Inc.

As a co-op, you will be part of the team from day one and given training and tasks that are important and impactful to our projects' success. Success in this role depends on the Co-op’s initiative and teamwork skills. A successful Co‑op will support projects from preconstruction through closeout, collaborating with Project Managers, vendors, and field teams to coordinate materials, manage logistics, and uphold safety, quality, and budget standards. Top achieving Co‑ops may take on increased responsibilities and ownership of projects under guidance. McKenney's has a long history of success in hiring Co‑ops and supporting their evolution into industry leaders. Many of our current senior leaders began their journey in the Co‑op program.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Collaborate closely with Project Managers to support controls projects from initiation through final closeout. Coordinate procurement of materials and equipment by working directly with vendors and suppliers. Assist with project cost tracking and provide regular updates on budget performance. Plan with Project Managers and Field Team Leaders to hit schedule milestones with the field teams onsite. Routinely survey project sites for adherence to McKenney’s safety, quality, and productivity values.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Education and Experience: Students must be enrolled in a Co‑op program at an accredited engineering school majoring in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, Computer Science, or a related degree. Candidates must be able to complete at least three full‑time, alternating Co‑op rotations prior to their graduation and should avoid a full courseload while working, which may delay graduation.
  1. st Rotation: Fall 2026
  2. nd Rotation: Summer 2027
  3. rd Rotation: Spring 2028
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Ability to use time productively. Strong self‑motivation and ability to work independently as well as within a team. Maintain a strong attention to detail. Effective verbal and written communication across multidisciplinary teams (e.g., Project Managers, field staff, drafting, and shops).

WORKING CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL EFFORTS

Work is normally performed in a typical interior/office environment. No or limited exposure to physical risk; occasional jobsite visits may require climbing permanent and temporary stairs/ladders, passenger use of hoists, and navigating active construction areas. Light physical effort handling average weight objects up to 50 pounds may be required occasionally. Moving Safety Forward, our initiative for continuous improvements in our safety culture, reminds us that we are on a journey toward a zero‑incident culture. In all we do, we must work to build a partnership with our employees, customers and business associates that empowers them all with the ability to do their jobs safely. McKenney’s is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to workforce diversity. Qualified candidates will receive consideration without regard to age, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, or gender identity. McKenney’s is a smoke‑free and drug‑free workplace. #J-18808-Ljbffr McKenney's Inc.
