Student Programs
Co-op students are hired to work three semesters, alternating work with school, and spend a semester in each career path – project management, field operations, and preconstruction. Student interns work one semester in one career path, with the opportunity to come back for additional experience. Both co-ops and interns are eligible for company benefits, and at the beginning of each work term, students are matched with an employee mentor to guide them.
You can expect training in all kinds of operational roles with our co-op and intern programs.
Hoar firmly believes in the co-operative education program. Many of our full-time employees were former co-op students who have made a career in the field of preconstruction, project management, and field supervision. In fact, the vice presidents of our Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Tennessee Divisions started with Hoar as co-ops during college.
Internships can start your construction career off early.
The goal of Hoar’s intern program is to provide an environment in which the student can gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the construction industry. Internships generally take place during one semester only, mainly in the summer, but spring and fall opportunities are available as well.
Construction co-ops and interns often transition to full-time roles.
Each co-op student will be assigned a specific project manager, superintendent, or estimator at the beginning of each work term, depending on whether or not the student is located in the field or in the office. This person will serve as your mentor and be responsible for supporting your objectives throughout your time with Hoar Construction. Co-Ops traditionally rotate through one area of work a semester, for a total of three semesters, or a full year of work experience. Our co-op/intern program has proven success, with nearly 50% of our top leadership originally starting their careers with Hoar as co-ops. And we currently have 121 full-time employees who started out as interns and co-ops.
