1 month ago

Calgary, Canada Urban Systems Ltd. Full time

We are looking to add 2 capable and enthusiastic co-op students from a civil, environmental, or integrated engineering (with an emphasis in civil engineering) degree program for a 12- or 16-month co-op work term starting in May 2025

At Urban Systems, we understand your need to have meaningful experiences during your co-op work terms. We strive to create opportunities that apply your knowledge and skills to challenging, multifaceted, and rewarding projects – both in the office and in the field. Our goal for you is to come away with enhanced skills, a feeling of success, and long-lasting connections that will serve you well in your future as a professional engineer.

Our commitment to creating an impact runs deep. We care – about each other, about the work we do, and about the clients and communities we work with. Our people and teams embrace a growth mindset to build a culture where everyone can grow and develop over time. This is a place where you can build meaningful relationships and explore your potential. Join us for a work term where you will hone your engineering knowledge and increase your understanding of industry best practices in a practical and supportive setting.

 

About the Opportunity

Our student positions involve a variety of interdisciplinary work experience. Working alongside seasoned engineers and recent graduates alike, you will be engaged in projects related to general civil engineering, infrastructure design, transportation, stormwater, and water resources. You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and communities, such as municipal government, provincial government, Indigenous communities, and land development clients.  You will be working either with our Land Development or Local Municipal Government teams and given as much responsibility and freedom as you demonstrate you can handle.

Do you see yourself excited to contribute to…

  • Honing your civil engineering skills and developing an understanding of best practices in a practical, real world setting.
  • Applying theory and providing workable solutions related to the implementation of engineering work regarding general municipal engineering including roads, water, sanitary, and drainage infrastructure design and planning.
  • Establishing relationships with communities and act as the clients' representative on-site during construction to gather information, conduct inspections, and ensure that designs are built to specifications
  • Providing accurate and timely input and summarize technical reports, plans, studies, proposals, and presentations
  • Assisting project managers with cost estimating, quantity take offs, contract preparation and administration, project coordination, construction management, and report preparation for civil infrastructure related to community development;
  • Proactively and professionally communicating with contractors, co-workers, clients, other consultants, and the public


About You

We are looking for students currently enrolled in a civil, environmental, or integrated engineering (with an emphasis in civil engineering) program who are in either their 3rd or 4th year of study. Related experience will be beneficial but not required. 

The core skills that will help you succeed here include: 

  • Motivated – You are excited to broaden your expertise and understanding by gaining experience in the following areas: stormwater infrastructure, water resources, river engineering, transportation planning, traffic modelling and analysis, road design, and civil infrastructure.
  • Curious – You are eager to learn more, ask questions, and listen deeply. You know being present and listening to people to understand their needs and experiences is integral to being in service of others.
  • Detail-Oriented – You pay high attention to detail and quality control and verify the accuracy of your production work at all stages of a project.
  • Relationships Focused – You aim to build relationships, develop a sense of community, and work with diverse groups to tackle complex challenges faced by communities.
  • Communication – You are a skilled communicator. You can take the complicated and make it easy to understand, using research and data to deepen understanding and tell a compelling story.
  • Problem Solving – You enjoy applying theory and conducting research to provide workable solutions related to the implementation of engineering work.
  • You have a valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence.
