• Follow safe work practices and quality standards while learning how professional consulting teams deliver results.

• Currently enrolled in an engineering or related technical/technology program (e.g., Engineering, Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology, Building Science, or similar).
• Comfortable with a mix of office and fieldwork, including travelling to project sites.
• Strong attention to detail—able to capture accurate site observations and organize information well.
• Interest in building envelopes, materials, construction methods, and how buildings behave over time.
• Confident communicator (written and verbal) with a willingness to learn and take feedback.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office; exposure to AutoCAD/Revit is an asset.
• A curious, proactive mindset—you enjoy figuring things out and asking smart questions.
