Welcome to our 2026 Spring Co-Ops

F&T is thrilled to welcome our 2026 Spring Co-Ops! Our program is designed to introduce students to the MEP/FP consulting industry, providing them with valuable insights and hands-on experience. Throughout their time with us, our co-ops are immersed in real-world projects, allowing them to gain practical knowledge and skills that will be invaluable in their post-graduate careers. 

Our co-ops tackle various challenges, working closely with our experienced team members. They have the opportunity to learn about different aspects of our industry, from project management to technical design, and everything in between.
