Opportunities are available in the following specializations/divisions:

• Carpentry: Interns will work in the form shop, assisting in the creation of concrete forms and other items essential for construction projects.
• Welding: Responsibilities include repairing heavy equipment and fabricating various pieces used in heavy highway bridge and structural construction.
• Auto/Equipment Mechanics: This role involves maintaining and repairing company vehicles and other specialized construction equipment.

• Supply Department: Interns will assist in providing tools, supplies, and other necessary resources to field operations.
• Yard: Duties involve pulling, organizing, and fulfilling orders to be shipped to various projects.

Interns at Kokosing are not viewed as “trainees”; instead, they work alongside full-time employees who provide guidance and training on various tasks. Interns will be actively involved in projects and assigned specific responsibilities. Daily activities are structured to allow interns to experience applicable processes and management methods firsthand. Supervisors and project staff will tailor work efforts to facilitate learning within the intern’s area of interest, while also ensuring direct contribution to the completion of quality projects.

Kokosing commits to providing work assignments with increasing challenges and responsibilities, scaled to the intern’s abilities. These assignments are expected to occur in diverse situations, fostering technical development, broadening practical background, and allowing interns to explore their own interests.
