THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR TEAM!
Where do I fit in?
Fall Recruitment is now closed
UBC Steel Bridge is a community of passionate and talented UBC students coming together to build award-winning model steel bridges fit for international competition. Every member plays an important part in our operations and opportunities are available to students from all faculties across UBC.
There is a role for anyone in Steel Bridge, in groups called subteams. Before you apply, make sure to see which of our subteams most closely matches your interests.
If you don’t know immediately, don’t worry! We are proud of our supportive learning environment for people of all interests and backgrounds.
The following subteams are hiring for positions:
Drafting
Before any fabrication can be done, every part of the bridge must be modelled and drafted precisely for documentation. Our drafting subteam uses Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD to create models and engineering drawings that comply with competition standards - reflecting industry practices.
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
BIM stands for Building Information Modelling, and this subteam helps create the construction sequence of the bridge to ensure our bridge construction during competition is efficient and compliant with competition rules; they also make animated videos to bring our design to life.
Fabrication
The Fabrication subteam is responsible for preparing the steel parts of our bridge. This involves coordinating the procurement of materials, fabricating parts and assemblies to specification, and contacting industry professionals for tasks beyond our in-house capabilities.
Marketing
Marketing is more than just selling a product - it sheds light on a concept and inspires others. Our marketing subteam sheds light on UBC Steel Bridge’s impact and potential through inspiring visuals, campaigns, events, social media outreach, and more.
Sponsorship
Building a steel bridge and participating in international competitions requires resources and funding. Being a student-run team, we rely on the goodwill of sponsors that believe in our capabilities and are willing to invest in the future of our team. Our sponsorship subteam represents Steel Bridge when directly contacting companies about the benefits of sponsoring us.
