Projects

During my progressive career in the Oil & Gas industry, I’ve been afforded opportunities to work on a variety of phase activities from both a client and contractor perspective. Gaining knowledge and experience in various phases of large diameter pipeline construction and decommission projects throughout Canada. Focusing on earthworks for access, right-of-way construction and watercourse crossings. Daylighting and exposure of underground facilities, excavation of high-risk crossings, along with HDB/HDD crossings. Have also worked extensively with onsite engineering representatives during hydrostatic testing, pigging and ILI tool run operations. ▪ Working as a Ground Disturbance Coordinator, leveraging against my extensive experience gained while actively working in the field. Pulling from experiences in auditing third party agreements, TFA’s and land owner commitments. Communicating deficiencies to the client and third-party vendors in an effort to reduce or avoid potential impacts to construction activities. ▪ Committed to ground disturbance practices and procedures which has resulted in an accident and incident free work history. ▪ All jobs completed according to contract specifications and in accordance with environmental governing bodies. ▪ Project history includes union and non – union working relationships
