"I understand that the energy industry is privy to many policy changes and I am accustomed to setbacks coming my way. I have also experienced setbacks from early-stage funding falling through. Over the years I have gained a lot of patience when it comes to the advancements of my projects and can step away from a project that may be falling behind, look at the situation critically, and reassess my approach when needed."

"I am accustomed to waiting periods due to various policy changes or setbacks with logistics. However, it is my job as a project manager to anticipate and mitigate this risk by developing a plan to utilize lag time to the fullest. When possible, I prefer to have a list of value-add activities at the ready so that my teams and I can remain productive during any unexpected waiting periods. I would use my skills and experience in this area to maximize the available time of my teams here at Suncor if hired for the open position."
