Decent amount of technical depth for a co-op role. Interview with an engineering lead covered geotechnical and foundation design and a scenario about erosion mitigation near a pipeline corridor. Also STAR behavioral on handling design changes in the field. HR call before that was quick.

Hadn't prepared on the mining side at all. Video interview with two engineers, situational stuff about remote site conditions and a safety scenario.

Didn't have enough nuclear background for the civil team. Technical interview didn't go well after the HR call
