Co-op Student – Bureau Veritas

Anthony Leong

I have been working as part of a soil processing department at Bureau Veritas in British Columbia for two months during my co-op term. As part of its environmental services, Bureau Veritas provides analytical data to ensure its clients have the values that need to be protected and uphold quality and control. My role involves processing samples provided by clients, weighing them to one gram, and then diluting the samples with chemicals like nitric and hydrochloric acid. I will deliver the work to other departments for further analysis.  

With the Co-op program, I have gained a better understanding of the different procedures and purposes of the various positions that are available. This pushes me to be better than I am today, and it still gives me the strength to explore more challenges that the Co-op program offers. I am glad to learn more from my peers and colleagues about the different opportunities that are available to me and encourage future Co-op students to look for many unique opportunities that can lead to various pathways and different objectives.
