Job Posting: Permasteelisa North America

Permasteelisa North America will have representatives from their company at this week’s Virtual Career Fair, including alum James Buckingham (BS Civil ’10). 

As a company, we design, engineer, and build the facades of iconic buildings and we are hoping to add more Tech students to our team! I’m also excited to share that we are starting a co-op opportunity at Permasteelisa for students interested in gaining real-work structural engineering experience in a challenging and supportive work environment.  We’ve had great feedback on our summer internships over the years, and we want to give students the opportunity to take on the larger scopes of work on our projects that a co-op experience would allow.  In addition to co-ops, we are also looking for full-time and intern structural engineering and construction management candidates as well.

More info can be found on our website (www.permasteelisagroup.com) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/permasteelisagroup), along with the attached photos of recent projects.

NEED: K-6 After School STEM Instructors

Published
By

The MTU Center for Science & Environmental Outreach provides after school STEM classes for students at Baraga Elementary and CJ Sullivan Elementary School (L’Anse). Classes are once per week for one hour between 4-6 pm. They may be virtual or in-person. The Center has lots of lessons already to go that an instructor just has to organize supplies for. Classes begin week of Sept. 13

The Center also conducts 1.5-2 hour science field trips during the school day for K-8 classes, which usually take place at their schools. There are already lessons prepared and supply kits ready to go. You can choose times to fit your schedule.

You must have your own car.  If you’re interested, please complete this online application. 

Feel free to contact Joan Chadde (jchadde@mtu.edu) with any questions. The supply kits are stored in the forestry building, rather than GLRC, for easy access. We would have a short training with all interested instructors first.
