"I would say so, yes. I started out in an Engineer role with another utility company and have always aspired to become an Engineering Manager. I started looking at the skillsets I need to get into management and took additional classes and coursework to help me get there. I am proud to say I now have over 5 years of experience as an Engineering Manager and I can bring a wealth of knowledge into BC Hydros' Engineering Manager role."

I would say yes. I started my career young as a helper in a joinery shop, my goals for my career were to learn and gain skills in all aspects of carpentry. My career has led me through finish carpentry, historical renovations, concrete repair, forming and finishing, and construction of residential, commercial, and industrial facilities. I have developed the knowledge and skillsets in these fields not only to be self-sufficient in completing tasks but also to mentor co-workers and manage projects of various sizes.
