Description

We are looking to add 8 capable and enthusiastic co-op students from a civil, environmental, or integrated engineering (with an emphasis in civil engineering) degree program for a 4-, 8- or 12-month co-op work term starting in January 2026!
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 a positive 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 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 is 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, ask questions, and listen deeply. You know that 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, both verbal and written, allowing you to 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.
  • A valid Class 5 Driver’s License is considered an asset (required for some of the listed jobs to perform site visits).
