Pros

I really enjoyed working at PCL. There is a lot to learn as a co-op student. PCL Ottawa hosts many events/initiatives that employees can participate in. I loved visiting the various project sites and learning about the unique aspects of each job!

Cons

I didn't like my particular assigned project due to its large focus on mechanical and electrical components. However, the project I worked on was still very neat and I am excited to see the end result in 2025. There is a lot to learn at every job and I attained many new skills and knowledge during my co-op term.
