Durabuilt is looking for an Engineering COOP student to join our R&D and Testing & Development teams for a hands-on, 4-month term starting January 2027. You'll play a key role in shaping how our products get installed in the field - turning CAD models and engineering drawings into clear, professional installation manuals and assembly guides that installers and teams across the company rely on every day.
If you're a Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Civil engineering student with strong SOLIDWORKS skills and an eye for detail, this is a great opportunity to apply your technical knowledge to real products, work directly with our drafting team, and see your work used on active job sites.
What You'll Do- Develop installation manuals, assembly instructions, and installation guidelines under the direct supervision of our Senior R&D Engineer and Testing & Development Engineer
- Create exploded views, step-by-step sequences, callouts, and technical illustrations using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Composer
- Work closely with our drafting team to source models, drawings, and revisions, keeping documentation aligned with the latest released designs
- Read and interpret CAD models, assembly drawings, and cross-sections to confirm correct installation sequences and hardware callouts
- Maintain and update existing manuals as products and standards evolve, tracking revisions per internal procedures
- Join occasional field visits to active job sites to see the installation process firsthand
- Review relevant building codes, product standards, and specifications, and reflect them in your documentation
What You Bring- Currently enrolled in a Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Civil Engineering program, available full-time for a 4-month COOP term starting January 2027
- Strong SOLIDWORKS skills - part modelling, assemblies, and drawings are a must
- Experience with SOLIDWORKS Composer is a strong asset (or a readiness to learn it quickly)
- Familiarity with AutoCAD and Autodesk Vault is an asset
- Comfortable in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
- Knowledge of the Alberta Building Code is an asset
- Strong written and verbal communication skills - you can explain technical steps clearly to installers and colleagues at every level
You'll Thrive Here If You- Enjoy a fast-paced environment and can perform well under pressure
- Have sharp attention to detail
- Can manage tight deadlines
- Are comfortable with a mix of sitting, standing, and walking
