I am managing cradle-to-grave (initiation to close-out) responsibilities for strategic common projects across Bruce A and Bruce B Nuclear Power Plant, acting as portfolio manager in tracking all milestones (irrespective of which function performs the function) across the cradle to grave process.

I have been proactively involved in setting up and executing contract work by contractors and third party consultants, ensuring that the projects are executed in the field in accordance with applicable procedures and processes for nuclear, conventional, personnel and environmental safety and ensure compliance.

Provided project management consultancy for Symons Valley regional infrastructure projects; starting from acquisition of land from the city of Calgary, established organizational structure with key stakeholders (governance model for shared ownership), funding/budgetary reviews and later development of project plans for execution.

I presented and show-cased regional infrastructure projects / initiatives in the 7th "Beyond the Four Walls" conference, that was organized by Federation of Calgary Communities (FCC), held on October 01, 2016. This conference was attended by more than 220 not-for-profit organizations, including the 150 community associations in Calgary. "Engage to belong" was a successful trade show during this conference.
