We are looking to add 4-5 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 2027

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 the Chance

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, community infrastructure, 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 private land development clients.



You will be 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 summarizing technical reports, plans, studies, proposals, and presentations
- Collaborating on team projects, using industry‐standard programs to carry out design and modelling assignments
- 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

As a student, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, although depending on the projects, practice areas, and clients may differ.



The following projects and skills are not an exhaustive list and may fluctuate based on capacity and interest.
