2026 Design Engineer Co-op
Early Talent Program Overview
The Terex Early Talent Program is a strategic initiative designed to identify and develop the future leaders of our global organization. Opportunities include three month internships, six month co-ops, and three year long rotational Leadership Development Programs (LDP). More information about our LDP programs can be found at Terex.com/Careers.
What sets our Early Talent programs apart is that, from day one, students are immersed in meaningful, real-world projects that directly contribute to business outcomes. We invest in the personal and professional growth of our early talent, with the goal of converting high-performing interns and co-ops into full-time LDP participants. Early talent candidates are intentionally selected to identify individuals with long-term leadership potential.
