Bring on one or more students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in the Civil and/or Environmental Engineering Technology program to work virtually, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the work term period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students are available for work terms starting as soon as June 1st with a flexible start date up to October 1, and can work until December 31, 2020 .
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will initially occur virtually, with the potential of onsite work. And we request that students complete a minimum of 600 hours either full time or part time.
Compensation for students is optional. Paid is preferred, with the option of wage subsidy programs that are available specifically to students in this program. If requested, the co-op coordinator can provide all information related on qualifying for wage subsidies.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should complete a minimum 600 hours with your organization by December 31, 2020.
Graduates of our program have been successfully employed in the fields of:
- highway and road construction
- concrete, asphalt, and soil testing laboratories
- drafting, detailing, and design assistance
- municipal, provincial, and federal government (water development, structural projects)
- earth work, and building site studies
- irrigation and hydraulic laboratories
- field surveying for pipelines, roadworks, irrigation, etc.

Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the work term, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Students have training in theory and laboratory practice in the field of civil and environmental engineering technology which can be applied to an office, lab or field environment.
Students are capable of doing the following tasks, amongst others:
- Materials testing
- Surveying
- Job Planning and Management
- Communications and Computer Skills (drafting)
Project examples that students can complete will vary depending on your company's needs.
