Improvement of processes and technical specifications (in welding and construction of high reliability infrastructure) impacting large groups of diverse stakeholders. Member of the Management of Change team; currently working on ATCO’s pilot project to inject hydrogen into the gas network. Scoping and implementation of necessary changes to existing infrastructure, operating practices/designs, and training.Ongoing creation, improvement, roll out and training related to technical welding specifications, welding and construction quality management program, designs, construction processes. Application of industry best practices and research to everyday work. Troubleshooting welding concerns that arise on projects. Set up and roll out of weld tracking process and tools across all ATCO Natural Gas for monitoring execution and inspection of welds (~10,000 individual welds each year with about 20 attributes for each weld). Tracking and analysis of data in order to manage weld quality compliance with specifications and continuous improvement.

Worked with a large, diverse team of stakeholders to execute construction projects. Improved existing construction process, quality management specifications. Introduced digital solutions to the construction process and staff. Involved in construction for two large-scale projects. Tasks involved constructibility/technical review with engineering, daily contractor and inspector meetings, progress updates, change orders and cost management, technical problem-solving during construction, construction stakeholder meetings, and managing an inspection team of up to 30 inspectors. Updated and facilitated adoption of more digital solutions to manage construction information collected in the field and construction management. Created and rolled out digital formats of existing construction quality and progress tacking paper forms for better data management and aggregation. Facilitated formation of weld quality group. Tasks involved reviewing opportunities for improvement, outlining steps needed to act on improvements, budgeting and estimating of resources needed, and presenting findings. Created project estimates for feasibility studies, budgetary and construction estimates.Updated and improved construction quality management program, technical specifications, templates, engineered designs considering engineering and construction feedback.
