It's officially co-op season!
Or at least it's hiring season for the May 2026 term co-op for engineering students!

Amongst our many divisions and offices, we have limited openings to provide co-op students with the most comprehensive, hands-on experience possible. We keep the roster small, so that we can deliver the best mentorship experience to each student who comes aboard.

We had the chance to interview Aaron about his time in co-op with our Geotechnical engineering division here at Harbourside. He and Kenneth are both in their fourth year of civil engineering at Dalhousie University. Here we get a chance to talk about what working in the lab has been like for Aaron, as well as his first foray into the field in Cape Breton.

We’re continuing our trend of highlighting our co-op students. Back in October, we spoke with Kenneth, currently undergoing his co-op with the Geotechnical team. He talks about the importance of mentorship and hands on experience during his co-op term.

We have another interview with one of our co-op students. This time, from the geotechnical division! Brady Chipman recounts his time at Harbourside, and how he was able to apply his skills and learn from the team!

Nishtha is a 4th year engineering student with us here at Harbourside. Her co-op is an 8th month term, and she’s already hoping for an extension!

Sherelle Higgs recently completed her co-op at Harbourside after a 4-month term with our transportation division. Despite the short time frame, Sherelle has continually impressed us with her excellent work-ethic, and enthusiasm (as you will see in the video). She returns to her studies at Dalhousie University this fall.

Scott Long has been with Harbourside as one of our co-op students for a 16 month term. If you watched our previous video featuring Bryan Rusagara, you may like to know that the two worked closely together for that time.

As the next semester approaches, we prepare to say goodbye to another crop of amazing co-op students. Bryan Rusagara has been working as a co-op student with Harbourside for 16 months. In that time, we have seen Bryan tackle incredible projects, growing by leaps and bounds.

Lunch and Learn. September 15th, 2025 11:00AM to 1:30PM. Civil Engineering Student Lunch and Learn in the Romero Room, Idea Hub Building, Sexton Campus. Open to 3rd year, 4th year, and co-op students.
