Local College Co-op - Operations

Dow Silicones Corporation • Auburn, MI

82d • Onsite

About The Position

Dow has an exciting part-time cooperative education job opportunity available in Auburn, MI. This position is open to qualified and highly-committed college students enrolled in a fully accredited college or university located very close to the Auburn operations site. This Site is mostly composed of specialty compounding unit operations which sell into the aerospace, electronics and automotive markets. The complexity with the Site comes from the challenging applications and customer expectations. Unlike a short-term internship project outside of school terms, this particular role is a long-term, year-round, undergraduate student position -- at least one full year in duration -- while the student is simultaneously taking classes toward an undergraduate degree. This opportunity offers the student valuable professional work experience in a dynamic, multi-national corporation interfacing with colleagues and leaders in many different roles. This program is designed for academically successful students who meet ALL of the specific job and co-op program requirements listed below and who can simultaneously succeed both in school and in a professional work environment.

• Successfully complete a minimum of 6 credit hours per term during both the Fall and Winter terms (~Sept-Apr).

• Commit to the role for at least 1 full calendar year.
• Ability to attend reliably and punctually in commuting to work daily or at least 2 days a week.
