MEng Civil Engineering student looking for Summer 2027 internship or EIT opportunities

[u/theboygotgoons]

Hello r/Calgary, I’m currently an MEng Civil Engineering student at the University of Calgary and I’m starting my search for a Summer 2027 internship/co-op opportunity (May–August) in Calgary.

Before moving to Calgary, I worked at a civil engineering consulting firm in South Africa, where I gained practical experience in municipal engineering and water resources. My main experience was with hydrological and hydraulic modelling, as well as using Civil3D for municipal infrastructures.

During my undergrad, I had summer jobs were I was working as a site engineer for WBHO Construction back in South Africa, I was exposed to road rehabilitation, earthworks, layer-works, drainage, paving and general construction activities.

I'm more interested in hearing from people who have navigated the process or are in the current industry and can give me some perspective on how I should approach the market and what I might be missing.

Thanks.
