About The Position

Cenovus is hiring students for co-op or internship placements in Superior, Wisconsin, for a four-month work term beginning in May 2027. Applicants may be considered for placements in Chemical Engineering, Health, Safety, & Environmental, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or Supply Chain Management. Assignments vary by placement and involve hands-on work with support and mentorship from professionals. Students must be enrolled at an accredited post-secondary institution during the work term and return to full-time studies afterward, or be registered in an accredited co-op or internship program for the term. Candidates currently in a master's or Ph.D. program may also be considered; new graduates are not eligible. The role may involve working at a site and wearing required personal protective equipment. It may be safety-sensitive and requires passing pre-employment medical and drug/alcohol assessments. For safety-sensitive positions involving motor vehicle operation, candidates must provide a recent driver’s abstract if offered the position; a valid, unrestricted Canadian Class 5 driver's license is required. Candidates must arrange their own transportation because public transportation is unavailable at field locations. Students have access to a multi-discipline program, hands-on work experience, mentorship, peer support, networking and development events, structured goal setting and performance evaluations, and opportunities to present work-term learnings to Cenovus leadership. Relocation assistance may be available to students moving for the work term.
