Jacob Stevenson Email & Phone Number

My name is Jacob Stevenson, I am a 4th year Geological Engineering student at The University of British Columbia. I am currently taking part in a 16 month co-op program to apply my classroom learning and gain experience working in the field. Previously, I have worked as a hockey coach, line cook, barback and in irrigation installation and landscaping. I am currently on co-op with Metro Testing + Engineering doing a variety of construction materials testing.I love to explore many different kinds of jobs and I have many passions outside of work. I play three instruments and love all kinds of music. I grew up playing multiple team sports and took a leadership role on multiple AAA hockey teams. I enjoy spending time outdoors and I have a deep love and appreciation for nature and all of the fascinating creatures with whom we share our planet.I work well in teams and I really enjoy cooperatively tackling engineering and design challenges by coming up with creative and efficient solutions. During my time at UBC, I have helped lead two teams of peers to creating successful solutions to design challenges posed by our professors. First, one team and I created the strongest cardboard chair in the engineering program, which held over 300lbs. I also made large contributions to another team, creating one of the top electronic claws in our program, which was able to pick up a variety of objects with no outside support.My ideal job would be one which challenges me regularly, giving me ample opportunity to use my creative problem solving skills to tackle a variety of interesting challenges. I would also love to be involved with nature or conservation in some capacity. I also desire the ability to tackle new tasks and subjects to challenge myself and broaden my horizons. Furthermore, I thrive in team based environments and I would love to be a part of any productive team of professionals.
