Role Summary:
This Baton Rouge–based 12‑month Engineering Co‑Op is a standout opportunity for rising senior engineering students who want real, hands‑on experience. You’ll train just like a new hire, contribute to real customer and in‑house projects, and build true field engineering skills that classrooms can’t teach. From equipment walk‑downs and troubleshooting to mechanical disassembly and upgrade recommendations, you’ll see how rotating equipment and mechanical seal systems operate in real industrial environments.
You’ll split your time between a business‑casual office setting and field work alongside experienced Application Engineers—giving you a full picture of what an engineering career looks like. If you’re mechanically curious, motivated to learn, and excited to develop skills that set you apart before graduation, this Baton Rouge–based 12‑month co‑op will give you the experience, confidence, and technical exposure to launch your engineering career.
