The Opportunity - Build the Future with Us

Step into a hands-on Fall Co-op opportunity with our Rail & Transit Modelling and Simulation team, where you'll help turn real-world transportation challenges into data-driven insights.

This is a paid student position designed for engineering university students in an accredited co-op/internship program (returning to school after the work term).

Your Impact

• Support rail and transit projects by building, running, and refining modelling and simulation workflows.
• Analyze inputs/outputs, validate results, and help translate findings into clear technical insights for project teams.
• Prepare data for modelling (cleaning, formatting, QA/QC) and document assumptions and methodologies.
• Assist with scenario testing to evaluate performance, capacity, reliability, and operational impacts.
• Contribute to technical memos, figures, and presentations that communicate results to internal and client teams.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate modelling outputs into broader engineering deliverables.
• Learn and apply industry tools and best practices while receiving coaching from experienced practitioners.
• Bring curiosity and fresh thinking-helping the team improve automation, repeatability, and visualization of results.
•  

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Currently enrolled in a university engineering program (e.g., Civil/Transportation, Systems, Software, Mechanical, Electrical, or related) and eligible for a Fall co-op term.
• Foundational understanding of modelling concepts (e.g., simulation, optimization, statistics, forecasting, or systems analysis).
• Experience with data analysis/programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R, or similar) for technical problem-solving.
• Comfort working with spreadsheets and structured datasets; attention to detail in QA/QC and documentation.
• Ability to communicate technical work clearly-written and verbal-tailored to different audiences.
• Interest in rail and transit systems (operations, service planning, capacity, reliability, or infrastructure).
• Collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn, ask questions, and take initiative.
• Strong organization skills to manage tasks, timelines, and deliverables in a team environment.
