EMS-Tech Inc., is a highly successful and expanding engineering firm that specializes in the design and supply (OEM) of bulk material handling equipment. For over 40 years we have delivered projects great and small around the world. We are dedicated to supplying high-quality large-scale machines and systems and providing innovative, custom solutions.

With our headquarters in Canada, and offices in the Netherlands, China, and Australia, we are constantly pushing the envelope related to self-unloading ships, stackers, stacker-reclaimers, ship loaders and conveyor systems.

We are currently seeking an enthusiastic Civil Engineering Co-Op Intern.

The Civil Engineering Co-op role at EMS-Tech Inc. is a unique opportunity to be part of a global engineering team working on groundbreaking projects in the bulk material handling industry. You'll be working on massive, high-impact machines and conveyor systems, while sharpening your skills in CAD drafting, PLC programming, VFD drives, and advanced electrical design.

This role is ideal for the student who is passionate about solving complex structural challenges and is eager to see their work come to life on a global stage. Our engineering team is pushing the limits of what's possible in the dynamic bulk material handling industry, which continues to grow with no signs of slowing down. There is a possibility that you'll also have the opportunity to travel to any one of our global project sites, getting hands‑on experience with some of the massive machines you'll help design, while delivering cutting‑edge solutions around the world.

It's an exciting chance to expand your expertise and see your work in action on a truly international scale!
