“Harper’s co-op program offers a unique and valuable experience. From day one, I was trusted with meaningful tasks that contributed to project progress, never busy work. I gained real-world knowledge of the water and wastewater construction industry and returned to school with renewed enthusiasm. This experience was instrumental in shaping my career and led to my long-term role with Harper.”
“My co-op experience with Harper was invaluable to my professional development, complementing my college education with hands-on, “real-world” experience. My ESD teammates’ passion for what they do inspired me. As a young college student, it was not initially my expectation to come out of my co-op rotations with a job offer, but when I received one from Harper after my junior year, it was a no-brainer. I knew Harper was where I wanted to be after graduation.”
