Contracts Co-Op

Description

Co-ops at Etegent get the opportunity to work on projects that make a difference in a wide range of exciting fields. Etegent has a long history of working with co-op students to help them achieve their professional goals. In fact, many of our full-time engineers began their careers with Etegent as co-ops. We know first-hand the importance of providing co-ops with high quality learning experiences tailored to the individual’s goals.

 As a Co-Op on our Contracts team, you’ll:

• Assist the Contracts Manager with drafting and review of key documents such as Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), Teaming Agreements, and Subcontractor Agreements.
• Assist with entering and maintaining contract information in the company ERP system.
• Participate in the proposal process, including review of request for proposal (RFP) requirements, pricing, and negotiation.
• Conduct contract reviews and submits findings to the Contracts Manager and company leadership.
• Interact with leadership and operations to answer contracting questions.
• Assist with contract closeout as required. 
• Learn the day-to-day functioning of a modern federal contractor contracts department.

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Possess a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, which is reflective of all college coursework.
• Be currently enrolled and pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, law, public administration, or a related field.
• Strong attention to detail and an interest in contracts or negotiation.
• Proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Applicant must be eligible to receive a U.S. Security Clearance which at a minimum requires applicant to be a US Citizen. See: Executive Order 12968 indicates U.S. Citizenship requirement to obtain a security clearance.

The Candidate:

More so than seeking a candidate with specific academic training and experience, Etegent seeks a special type of person; someone with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems. They are comfortable with abstract concepts and theory and can apply these to real-world problems. They conceive and implement fundamentally new approaches rather than just implement approaches gleaned from textbooks and technical papers. They are flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and theory to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience. We are seeking very sharp, capable, curious, well-rounded, adaptable people who can learn and grow as required to confront the challenges at hand. 

Working at Etegent:

At Etegent, you'll be a part of a fast-growing organization that combines a small-company feel with big-company resources and opportunities. Which is why, in addition to your competitive pay, you'll enjoy the following:

• Flexibility: Not a morning person? No problem. We only ask that you begin your day by 10:00am. Also, you will enjoy a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely.
• Mentorship: Every co-op is assigned to a mentor to help them grow as a professional. Aside from being involved in each other’s day-to-day responsibilities, co-ops and mentors have time set aside to set goals and check in over the course of the semester.
• Part-Time Opportunities: We also offer the possibility of part-time work during academic semesters for high-performing co-ops.
• Casual Dress: We strive to have a collaborative and laid-back atmosphere. Casual dress is the norm in our office unless meeting with customers. 
• Food: Keep your energy levels up with our well-supplied snack and beverage kitchen and enjoy a weekly lunch with your talented colleagues on Free Lunch Wednesdays.
