What You’ll Do:
The co‑op students will support the Engineering team across the following activities:
- Support continuous improvement projects: map current processes, find waste and bottlenecks, and help test and roll out fixes
- Run time studies and collect operational data, then turn it into clear charts and summaries
- Build and maintain simple tracking tools in Excel (KPIs, project trackers, action lists)
- Support 5S audits and standard work: help document standard work and maintain visual management
- Assist with health and safety tasks: workplace inspections, hazard identification, incident follow-up, and keeping safety records up to date
- Help prepare toolbox talks, safety training material and procedure updates
- Follow up on corrective actions so they actually get closed
- Work with other departments: collaborate with engineering, manufacturing and other teams to keep projects on track, and bring your ideas for solving problems
- Other duties: support additional tasks as assigned
Who We’re Looking For:
- Education: Currently enrolled in an Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering program (or a closely related one), ideally in 2nd or 3rd year.
- Skills:
- Intermediate level Excel skills, including data collection and analysis; comfortable with numbers and spotting patterns in data
- Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma or process mapping is an asset (coursework counts)
- Curious and observant, happy to ask “why do we do it this way?” and to think outside the box
- Clear communicator who’s comfortable talking with people on the floor as well as in the office
- Reliable, organized, and takes safety seriously
- Able to work in a production environment and wear PPE
- Teamwork: Works well with people across engineering, manufacturing and other teams.
- Time Management: Prioritizes tasks and meets deadlines, works independently, and asks for help when needed.
What You’ll Gain:
- Real project ownership, not just shadowing
- Practical experience with Lean tools and workplace safety
- Regular one-on-one mentoring and feedback
- Work tailored to your learning goals
- A finished project or two you can show in future interviews
- Exposure to how operations, safety and engineering work together
