At Geoscan, I managed Kelowna operations as the sole technician for Southern Interior BC, organising local work independently and coordinating with the Vancouver team.

I worked with clients to understand requirements, prepare quotations and complete utility locating and survey projects from fieldwork through to final results. I also presented equipment, services and project plans to clients and municipalities.

At Geoscan, I located subsurface utilities using GPR, EM and utility records, and collected GPS and total station data. I helped grow annual revenue from launch to over $350,000 in four years, exceeding six-month and three-year business targets.

Earlier, I worked on land and offshore seismic surveys, including leading surveying on 3D and 4D projects at Wavefield / CGGVeritas. I hold a BSc in Geophysical Sciences and an AutoCAD Skills Certificate.
