Dow is currently seeking exceptional Undergraduate and Graduate level Engineering students for Internship/Alternating Term Co-op opportunities in Operations (aka Manufacturing & Engineering) to start a work assignment during the upcoming Spring, Summer, or Fall term.

ABOUT YOU: Your job will include a broad range of responsibilities in a variety of different work settings such as chemical plant safety and environmental performance, process operation, optimization, modification, maintenance, and technology implementation.

Engineers must use sound technical judgment to enable safe and efficient plant operations. We invite you to help us combine world-class expertise, future-focused technologies, and sustainability to solve global issues.

You’ll work as part of a team at Dow and we have many opportunities to address challenging real-world problems. • Internship Track – Single work term commitment that is available for any school term.

Dow encourages students to apply for a work term other than summer. Students must reapply and be reconsidered for additional work terms. • Alternating Term Co-op (ATC) Track:  Dow Operation’s 3-term work commitment where a student alternates between taking classes on campus and working terms in our various Operations departments.

One (or more) of the work terms must be in the spring or fall semesters (i.e. can’t do all 3 terms in the summer).  Back-to-back work terms are allowed.

If a student wanted to complete terms beyond the 3-term commitment, they would need to reapply to be considered.  Students considering the ATC should consult with their academic advisors to understand how working one or more non-summer terms could impact graduation date.

Key Program Details: • All work terms are a minimum of 12 weeks with a maximum of 14 weeks in duration for both Tracks. • The majority of the positions are available in Louisiana, Michigan and Texas.

Limited positions may exist in other sites in the United States. Student must be committed to relocate anywhere in the U.S. outside of specified preferences.
