About The Position

The Engineering Coop Program within North American Construction Group will provide you with valuable exposure to heavy equipment reliability/maintenance engineering. We are currently looking to hire a Condition Based Monitoring Engineer Co-op student for our co-op program based out of our Acheson office, located 10 minutes west of Edmonton. We are looking for either an 8 or 12 month term term. Our Acheson location houses both our head office, on the upper level and our maintenance shop, on the ground floor. The shop is our main coordination point for the maintenance of the NACG owned and operated fleet. NACG owns over 600 pieces of heavy equipment including hydraulic shovels, excavators, haul trucks, dozers, graders, articulating trucks, skid steers and other types of heavy equipment. Working under the direction of the Condition Based Monitoring Engineer, the successful candidate will work with reliability engineers, OEM/Vendor engineers, maintenance planners and supervision, mechanics and upper management to reduce the operating and maintenance costs of the NACG heavy equipment fleet. This will be accomplished via maintenance and component improvements, with a focus on condition-based monitoring via a new system that NACG is implementing. We are recruiting for our future leaders! North American is proud to have hired many graduating students from our co-op program. Our co-op program is not only a great way to gain invaluable experience but to hopefully, one day, return as a permanent employee within the NACG team! We encourage growth and development for students entering today’s workforce.
