What is a co op project manager?

A Co Op Project Manager oversees and coordinates projects within a cooperative (co-op) setting, ensuring they meet deadlines, budgets, and quality standards. They collaborate with stakeholders, manage resources, and address challenges throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills to align projects with the co-op’s goals. Depending on the industry, responsibilities may vary but generally involve project planning, execution, and performance tracking.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a co op project manager?

To thrive as a Co Op Project Manager, you need strong project management skills, a background in engineering or construction management, and experience overseeing cooperative (co-op) housing or utility projects. Familiarity with project management software like MS Project or Primavera, as well as relevant certifications such as PMP or CAPM, is often advantageous. Exceptional leadership, problem-solving, and stakeholder communication skills help you excel in coordinating diverse teams and balancing competing priorities. These qualities ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of all partners and stakeholders.

What are some common challenges faced by co op project managers, and how are they addressed?

Co Op Project Managers often deal with balancing the interests of multiple stakeholders, such as residents, contractors, and board members, which can sometimes lead to conflicting priorities or expectations. Managing project timelines amid unforeseen delays and resource constraints is another typical challenge. Successful managers address these hurdles by maintaining open lines of communication, proactively identifying and managing risks, and employing effective negotiation and conflict resolution strategies. Building strong relationships and fostering collaboration across teams are key to keeping projects on track and ensuring the successful completion of co-op initiatives.

Job description

IntroductionMcKenney's has been going strong for more than seven decades. Our culture values people and ideas, and we work together to deliver the most innovative solutions to our customers. We help you grow in your career through training and support, and as an equal opportunity employer, we provide comprehensive benefits and give you a firm foundation for the future.

Overview

As a Co-op, you will be part of the team from day one and given training and tasks that are important and impactful to our projects' success.  

Success in this role depends on the Co-op’s initiative and teamwork. A successful Co-op will support estimating and operations, collaborate with vendors and subcontractors, and support the Field Foreman with customer needs through scheduling and site logistics management. A top achieving Co-op may gain the opportunity to manage projects from start to finish under a Project Manager’s guidance. 

McKenney's has a long history of success in hiring Co-ops and supporting their evolution into industry leaders. Many of our current senior leaders began their journey in the Co-op program. 

Responsibilities

  • Work alongside Project Managers to manage the mechanical, plumbing, and/or controls construction of projects from start to finish—utilizing software, such as Revit, Bluebeam, Procore, and BIM 360. 

  • Coordinate with vendors to schedule and procure materials and equipment purchases for construction projects. 

  • Regularly update and project cost expenditures for the project’s budgets. 

  • Plan with Project Managers and Field Foreman to hit major schedule milestones with the field crews onsite. 

  • Assist in the preconstruction phase of projects: gather quotes, perform take-offs, and help assemble estimates. 

  • Assist in obtaining necessary permits, submittals, and other documentation for projects. 

  • Regularly survey project sites for adherence to McKenney’s safety, quality, and production values. 

  • Take on additional responsibilities each rotation while managing priorities. 

RequirementsEducation and Experience

  • Candidates must be enrolled in a Co-op program at an accredited engineering school majoring in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Construction Management, or a related degree. 

  • Candidates must complete at least three full-time alternating Co-op rotations before graduation and should avoid a full courseload while working, which may delay graduation.  

  • 1st Rotation: Spring 2027 

  • 2nd Rotation: Fall 2027 

  • 3rd Rotation: Summer 2028 

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Effective communicator across a diverse group of people (PMs, drafting, field staff, fabrication shops, etc.). 

  • Strong self-motivation and ability to work independently as well as within a team. 

  • Ability to use time productively, maximize efficiency, and meet challenging work goals. 

  • Excellent problem-solving ability. 

  • Attention to detail while completing multiple or repetitive tasks with a high sense of urgency. 

WORKING CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL EFFORTS 

  • Work is normally performed in a typical interior/office environment. 

  • No or limited exposure to physical risk; occasional jobsite visits may require climbing permanent and temporary stairs/ladders, passenger use of hoists, and navigating active construction areas. 

  • Light physical effort handling average weight objects up to 50 pounds may be required occasionally.
