CRAFTING CAREERS, FORGINGLEADERS.
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Since joining Manhattan, 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. Our amazing mentorship program allows college students to have 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 launched BuildHER, an employee resource group that supports women's career growth in our company.”
“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."

“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-in-a-lifetime projects, give Manhattan a shot.”

2024 Manhattan Summer Interns
What they had to say...
"The most satisfying part of my internship was getting to be around technology that I never thought I would have the chance to even see. I gained an intimate understanding of how all systems of a data center intersect and what concessions are needed to make things operate in such a specific way. This experience will stay with me forever, it was amazing."
"What has impressed me most so far is the culture. It's very family oriented, which I really like. I really liked being able to go to the project site and getting to sit in on development meetings. It allowed me to see each part of the process and I gained an appreciation for each part."
Graham Pagano Oklahoma State University Tulsa Intern
Nicola Betz Oklahoma State University Tulsa Intern
We
had 67 INTERNS this summer!
"The most satisfying part to me was learning about how a general contractor functions and the coordination that goes into giant projects in order to reach milestones. I also enjoyed going on site and seeing the progress of the build."
"The most satisfying part of the job this summer was getting out in the field and seeing the finish work come together so quickly."
"Manhattan makes me feel very welcome on this project. They always check in with me and see if I need any help during any given task. They make sure to always, confirm with me what I'm doing, if I need help, and if there's any way that I can help them."
"The most satisfying part of the internship was helping the project engineers with their workload and getting to do real work which contributed to the company."
"The most satisfying part of my internship experience is getting to see the progress of the job and seeing the building come together. This was also my second-year interning with Manhattan, and I got to see my team members be promoted which was an awesome feeling."
"Having a steady work schedule and learning the process of construction day by day was very beneficial to me and gave me confidence going into the industry."

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.

OUR FAMILY OF BUILDERS
My goal is to set out strategies and give our teams the tools to be successful in this business, and in life for their families. We are blessed to have so many hard-working members of our team, because in construction, it’s impossible to be successful without a strong team culture.
