Working in the Major Projects group, I compiled and analysed lessons learned data from past projects that could be applied to new projects at various stages of development. I also participated in lessons learned exercises with project leaders in the field to add to the group's knowledge base.I also worked on a new company-wide online platform to allow employees from across the company to submit lessons learned to an online database. That database is queried by the lessons learned group to improve the execution of new projects through all phases of development.This was a great role for me because continuous learning and improvement is a really strong motivator for me and influences my work daily. I don't think I appreciated how important that experience was at the time, but today I try to use much of what I learned to ensure the documentation and transfer of knowledge, to reflect on what did and did not work (even if it's just me on a small project), and to create best practices.

As part of the reliability engineering team at Suncor's Firebag In-Situ extraction site, I worked to track maintenance and identify reliability issues with plant equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, piping, etc. This allowed the team to prioritize equipment maintenance and replacement. I also assisted in troubleshooting equipment performance and system design issues in the field.
