Over the past 20 years, Ensign has played a significant role in my professional development, supporting my progression from starting as a labourer constructing rigs, to an HSE Advisor for the Canadian division, and ultimately into a corporate Health, Safety, and Environment role. Along the way, I was provided with opportunities to build strong technical and leadership skills while contributing to the development and implementation of HSE systems at an organizational level. This progression strengthened my understanding of operational risk, governance, and safety leadership, and continues to shape my approach to HSE today.
Working at Ensign has given me the opportunity to grow professionally while being part of a team that truly values safety, integrity, and collaboration. I’m proud to contribute to a culture where people support one another and take pride in delivering quality work every day.
