Nicole Gaboury
3rd Class Power Engineer
Rochfort Bridge ,AB
Summary
My goal is to obtain full time employment in a Power Engineering role.
Critical thinking and good problem solving/trouble shooting skills are qualities I posses. I believe teamwork and collaboration are very important in operations roles.
I was raised on a grain and cattle farm in the Grande Prairie, Alberta area. Hard work was taught to me at a young age. Working around and operating small and large machinery made me into an extremely safety conscious individual at all times, which I bring to the work site daily.
