Young Engineer: Claire Spearns
We would like to highlight one of our junior engineers for today’s staff spotlight: Claire Spearns.
Harbourside prides itself on being one of the best places for a young engineer to start their career. With a variety of different projects to sample. the work is tough, but fulfilling, as Claire can tell you:
"I learn a lot from every project. The juniors here are given a variety of things to work on, because they want us to learn."
Claire graduated from Dalhousie in 2024 but began working at Harbourside as a co-op student in 2023. From there, she has continued to learn, grow, and work on a variety of projects for Harbourside Engineering Consultants.
When asked about her co-op experience, Claire had this to say:
"It was honestly a lot like being a junior! They give you choices to work on a lot of different things, and you're here to learn."
We're happy Claire returned to us after graduating. We expect great things from her! She has been working alongside our senior engineers on some incredible projects like the Don River Segmental Bridge Tower Crane Foundation, and the Yarmouth Ferry Terminal repairs. We're proud to have her aboard!
"If you want to learn, and you want to work hard, this is the place for you."
