It's back to school for CNL student, James Nass!

While working with our Waste Operations Engineering Department, James’s hard work as an Instrumentation and Control Engineering Student has not gone unrecognized. Whether he’s designing new electrical builds, troubleshooting automation systems, or upgrading and replacing instruments, every task contributes to the environmental protection and operational safety of our waste management team.

Originally from Toronto, ON, James is studying Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering at Queen’s University and is finishing up a 12-month student co-op period with CNL. Besides gaining a technical skillset, James’ experience with CNL has taught him the importance of being a good team player when producing high quality work.
His favourite part about working with us? CNL’s collaborative nature.

“We all have a part to play, and everyone is always happy to lend a hand. There are so many experts in all fields that congregate here, and everyone loves the work they do.”
