Students & Grads
Gain invaluable experience with a global leader
Tenneco is always looking for new talent and fresh ideas. With us, interns, co-ops and recent grads can gain experience in all aspects of our automotive businesses, across many disciplines from corporate to manufacturing to engineering. Here, you will enjoy a friendly, non-bureaucratic environment, as well as genuine autonomy and accountability for your results.

Game Changers
While you may know us as a component supplier for new vehicles and retail suppliers, you may not realize that our advanced systems are game changers that make vehicles safer and more comfortable, while also making the environment cleaner.


World Leaders
We hold thousands of patents, continually conduct research, feature world-class manufacturing and are home to some of the best minds in the world, across multiple industries.

Direct Access
Tenneco is a large global company, but our interns, co-ops and recent grads often have direct access to our leadership while working on challenging assignments that directly impact our company. Here, you will be treated as a member of our team like any other experienced hire.
