International Predictive Maintenance / Additive Manufacturing Co-op (Spring 2025)

A good student experience is never hands-off. We believe in creating an environment where students really can learn by doing during their time with us and where they are given their own areas of responsibilities from the start. That’s why you are treated as part of the team from day one and are encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table. 

The Predictive Maintenance co-op will leverage mechanical / electromechanical skillset to support innovation activities in the Central Maintenance department.

This is a co-pp position which requires you to commit to three rotations (e. g. 1st rotation: fall, 2nd rotation: summer, 3rd rotation: spring).

The qualified co-op should expect to contribute & improve in the following functions:

• Project Plan for rollout of vibration sensors across body shop.
• Investigate additional sensors / data collection methods that could be used to move to a condition-based maintenance strategy.
• Design and test concepts for utilizing additive manufacturing to build key replacement components (weld gun shanks, weld gun arms).
• Support ongoing initiatives in expanding the Additive Manufacturing applications across the body shop
• Support Predictive Maintenance projects and initiatives

Assignment Development Plan:

• Opportunities to learn about additive manufacturing in depth through design and testing of designs in real-life applications
• Opportunity to be to contribute to the roll-out of a predictive maintenance system at an early stage.
• Exposure to industrial automation and the maintenance of the equipment involved therein.
• Opportunity to present in the weekly team meeting as well as updates on projects in other management rounds as milestones in projects are reached.

• Pursing a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Possess a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (not just in major).
• Completed at least 30 credit hours at time of application.
• Must commit to three co-op rotations.
• Ability to work full-time (40 hours / week).
• Transfer students must have a GPA from current university.
• MUST ATTACH A COPY OF UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT. 
• Complete and pass a substance abuse test before the work term. 
• The work term dates are March 10th - September 19th, 2025.
