The posting

At RWDI, we resolve complex challenges related to air quality, noise and vibration, and risk for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and government clients. Our integrated design approach leads to innovative solutions in sustainability, environmental engineering, wind engineering, microclimate studies, acoustics, and ventilation. We are committed to advancing the science of building performance while prioritizing the health, safety, and sustainability of the environments we help create.

If you’re passionate about building and want hands-on experience in a unique and dynamic environment, we encourage you to apply. We are currently accepting applications from students for our four month Model Builder Co-op Position, beginning January of 2027. The position will be located at our Guelph Office.

  • Use a variety of hand tools and shop equipment to cut, shape, and assemble model elements.
  • Collaborate with a skilled team to produce models that directly support engineering and environmental analysis.

This position is ideal for someone who:

  • Enjoys working with physical materials and building things by hand.
  • Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in accuracy and craftsmanship.
  • Is eager to contribute to meaningful projects that impact environmental design and engineering.

  • A strong aptitude/proficiency for spatial awareness and the ability to think/conceptualize in 3D is required – this is essential for success in this role

  • Ability to work/collaborate effectively within a team environment
  • Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
