As you grow your career with Manhattan Construction, new learning opportunities await you. Our two-level Manhattan Leadership Academy is an invitation-only intensive leadership development program focused on preparing the participant for the next step in their leadership journey.
“In the 20+ years I have worked in the construction industry only Manhattan has shown that they care about an employee’s development. As a graduate of the first class of Manhattan Leadership Academy, I am proud to say that moving forward with Manhattan, I am confident I am not only a better leader but a better husband, a better father, and a better person because of Manhattan and MLA.”
-Nick “Sody” Soderstrom, Senior Superintendent“I really enjoyed my time in the Manhattan Leadership Academy! Before entering the program I had a strong grasp on my day-to-day duties, but after the program, I realized there is a completely different aspect to leading and there is always something you can be doing to become a better leader. The knowledge I gained from our instructors and a room full of young leaders was invaluable and I encourage everyone who gets an opportunity, to make the best of it!”
-Tyler Zupko, Senior Estimator
“Since joining Manhattan Construction, I have been promoted to Vice President of Preconstruction, overseeing precon at a national level, included as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, and have had an opportunity to provide a representative voice for other women in our company. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, I am encouraged to see our company have a strategic focus on supporting all of our family of builders to develop their careers to the highest level possible. We have an amazing mentorship program that allows college students the opportunity to great exposure to our company and our industry. We have programs that help develop the leadership skills of our employees, as well as a strong group of tenured builders that provide a wealth of knowledge to educate on the technical side of the business. We have launched BuildHER, an employee resource group that supports the career growth of women in our company. ”
-Raylena Browning, LEED® AP BD+C, Assoc. DBIA Vice President - Preconstruction Services
Career paths at Manhattan can look like a roadmap. There are traditional paths, but because of our diverse project capabilities, there is more than one way to get where you want to go.
“The Manhattan Executive Leadership Development plan was an outstanding commitment by Manhattan Construction to my continued personal growth. Manhattan has always had a constant focus on construction specific development. With this new opportunity, it takes the general construction training to a new level with overall leadership and personal interaction skills that are becoming ever more important as I continue to progress with the company.”
-Jason Pate, LEED® AP, Senior Superintendent
“The program helped me identify and pinpoint the valuable skills of effective leaders, and our mentors helped me practice how to implement those skills. I also gained invaluable time management and organizational techniques. The Manhattan Leadership Academy taught me ownership, accountability, and effective communication. Most importantly, it gave me the tools to continue my journey to grow as a professional.”
-Telissa Hubbard, Project Manager
• Candidates must be enrolled in college seeking a degree in construction, engineering, architecture or other STEM-related degree programs.
• Internship period: Approximately 12 weeks during the summer. Varies by region.
• All internships are paid.
There is no better way to learn a job than actually doing it. At Manhattan, our interns don’t shadow. We consider it more like taking a test drive as an estimator, field engineer or project specialist. www.manhattanconstructioncareers.com
“Manhattan feels like a family to me. Ever since my first day, I feel that everyone has tried to get to know me rather than treat me like someone who will only be there for the summer. That has always had an effect on me, and it’s been a no-brainer to continue to come back.“
-Austin Bingham, University of Oklahoma
“One of the most satisfying things I got to experience was really being a part of the Manhattan family I always felt very included and heard when I wanted to experience or explore more of the office work.“
-Andrea Fuentes, Virginia Tech
“The most satisfying thing about my job was being able to see how things that I was doing were actually helping the building move along. Another thing was that even though I was an intern, I was always treated as an equal.”
-Addison Brandt, Oklahoma State University
“The people! Everyone that I have crossed paths with treats me as if I have been working for Manhattan for years.”
-Aidan Long, Catholic University of America
“Mine included a lot of teamwork and hands-on experience. I think it’s been very beneficial learning out in the field how things work together.”
-Anton Stanfield, Texas Tech
“The most satisfying thing for me to see this summer was the progression and level of trust I had compared to last summer and this one. Last summer, I had just finished my freshman year, and the team I was with did a great job of showing me the basic processes and tools used every day. This summer, the team I was with I was given more responsibility, and I liked that because I felt like a valued member of the team who was helping the project.”
-Jack Wood, University of Florida
“[It was most satisfying] Getting to work on a large-scale project as well as the project team I was assigned to. They have been great and made working a ‘get to’ and not a ‘have to.’”
-Ryan McCoy, Texas A&M University
“The most satisfying aspect of the internship experience was the fact that I felt welcomed immediately. It was a relief as it made it much easier to focus on new concepts I was being exposed to because I knew I had such a supportive group around me willing to teach and answer any questions I had.”
-Jessie Soto, Florida Gulf Coast University
“[It was most satisfying] Feeling like I was making a difference on the jobsite and relieving my coworkers of work duties.”
-Zane Reeves, University of Oklahoma
“After working at Manhattan for three internships totaling 17 months, you understand it is a company where people want to spend their entire career. For interns, there is no better place because you are not treated like a true intern or just another kid. They give you the tools to go run your own scope of work. Help is there all the time if you are unsure. Almost every person in a leadership position has spent at least 95% of their career working for Manhattan. That means not one person there hates their job and is always excited to be there. So, if you are looking for a work family and the chance to work on once-ina-lifetime projects, give Manhattan a shot.”
-Davis Barksdale, Assistant Project Manager
We have many Manhattan lifers at the company. Each year we celebrate a multitude of team members who have been with us 10, 20, 30, and even 40-plus years. We hear that’s pretty rare. What is it about Manhattan that makes people stick around for decades?
We think it is because we offer the benefits and professional development opportunities of a large company with the care and friendliness of a family-owned business.

Manhattan encourages its employees to refer others for job openings within the organization.

Referral of minority and female employees is strongly encouraged throughout the organization as well. This program has been very successful due to the strong professional relationships our employees have fostered with others in the industry.
