Join Eric Glover, Campus Recruiting Manager, to learn more about the Engineering & Architecture Associates Program at The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey!

The Engineering & Architecture Associates Program is a two-year rotational program open to Engineering and Architecture students who are receiving a bachelor’s or master’s degree between September 2024 and May 2025. During their first year, Associates rotate through different Engineering/Architecture disciplines. Associates also rotate through different Port Authority facilities, like: George Washington Bridge; Holland Tunnel; JFK Airport; LaGuardia Airport; Lincoln Tunnel; Newark Airport; PATH; World Trade Center; and more. In their second year, Associates focus on the discipline they accepted an offer for. In addition to gaining hands-on experience and becoming part of the team in each rotation, the Engineering & Architecture Associates Program also provides mentorship, professional development, training, networking, and facility tours.

Associates are full-time, permanent employees with a yearly salary and benefits. After successful completion of the program, Associates remain permanent employees and are promoted to Associate Engineer/Architect. As of 2024, there are close to 200 program alumni still working at the agency. Most Associates grow their careers within the Engineering Department while others transition to engineering roles in other departments like: Aviation; Operations Services; Major Capital Projects; PATH; Planning & Regional Development; Port; Sustainability; Tunnels, Bridges & Terminals; World Trade Center; and more.

The 2025 cohort is expected to start in the beginning of June 2025.
