Site RFI Coordinator

2019 - present

Report to the Project Engineer; responsible coordinating all disciplines RFIs to appropriate persons, created daily RFI status reports and responded to piping RFIs after working closely with piping construction contractor and engineers. KEY PROJECTS

● Suncor, Plant 04 Secondary Extraction Fire Restoration; Worked as the RFI coordinator and was part of the walkdown/turnover team. Worked to develop solutions to construction concerns for piping, mechanical and structural. Generated RFIs, FCNs and maintained all the associated documents for turnover and commissioning. The project had a very aggressive schedule and Plant 4 is in a pit with very limited amount of space during construction. This required working long hours with limited time off to keep the schedule on track.

● Suncor, MacKay River Fire Rebuild; Worked as the piping RFI coordinator. Worked closely with the piping fabricators, piping contractor and the office engineering group to respond to the RFIs within a 24 hour timeframe. Kept RFI log up to date and attended weekly meetings to discuss any delays in progress and project challenges. The project had a very condensed schedule, combined with harsh winter weather working conditions, equipment and material shortages and the onset of Covid-19 made for some very unique challenges that were met and overcome.

KEY PROJECT

● CNRL Horizon, SUG; Worked as piping designer to update area 44 using PDS to arrive at a final layout that was the best possible option. The client required all new pieces of equipment and piping to be run in the existing facility without shutting down or removing any operating piping/equipment. A four week shutdown was scheduled to tie in all the equipment and abandon the original equipment/piping in place. The existing facility was extremely congested and required site visits to confirm model correctness and space availability. EPFC Corporation., Calgary, Alberta
