Work experience for university student

My son is currently studying Civil Engineering at Nottingham university in the UK and is hoping to gain some relevant work experience in Hong Kong during his summer vacation (mid June to end of september).


He has already obtained a student working holiday visa but the company he had been offered a placement with has just (yesterday) withdrawn its offer and so he is looking for further opportunities. He is particularly interested in geological engineering or tunnelling but any civil engineering related work experience would be valuable.


Unfortunately, this field of work is totally unrelated to my employment so I can't give him any appropriate contacts. Any help finding him some relevant work experience would be greatly appreciated.

The advices suggested are great and helpful.
