Quality Control Wood Process Engineer Summer Intern; Resolute FP Canada Inc.
I had the pleasure of working with Resolute Forest Products and landed a job as QC Wood Process Engineer. The job required that I reside in Thunder Bay Ontario. The move from Vancouver to Thunder Bay is what anyone could expect…a big move. But I did it with the help of the great HR team from Resolute, they got me settled in.
So far at work, I have been working closely with the QC and Optimization supervisor doing both hands-on work with the lumber produced as well as analyzing data gathered from the mill. I am usually tasked with checking the information that the computer has picked up the correct defects and has accurately identified them along with inputting data and stats of the products made.
The first word that comes to mind about what co-op means to me is opportunity. Co-op opens doors to students when it comes to seeking career options, creating new connections or gaining new skills in the professional world. I think most importantly, it creates a bridge for students in university to start tapping into their strategic thinking side and develop skills/habits that would set them up for success in their careers.
