SUMMARY:Making Big Career Decisions and Learning From Failures
DESCRIPTION:Three or four panelists will give short presentations about their careers. A discussion will follow in which the panelists explore how to make big decisions and learning from failures. We will discuss times when each panel member has had to make a "Big Decision" in their career\, and how they evaluated their options. We will open the floor to questions from the audience for an interactive conversation. Lastly\, students will be divided into smaller discussion groups where they can network with young professionals. \nAbout the Speakers: \nArma Dhaliwal\, M.Eng.\, P.Eng\nArma Dhaliwal is a senior Pavements and Geotechnical Engineer with Tetra Tech. She graduated from UBC in 2007 and immediately started working for Tetra Tech. Her experience and interests are in transportation and infrastructure projects.

While in the Geotechnical group she worked on transit\, utility and industrial energy projects.

Alex works in Hatch’s metals sector with the High Pressure Metallurgy multidisciplinary team designing autoclave gold processing facilities to sustainably process refractory gold ore. He is currently working on the Amursk POX Hub Expansion project located in far eastern Russia where the world’s largest pressure oxidation (POX) autoclave was installed. Alex has also worked on gold projects in Colorado\, Chile and Papua New Guinea. \nPhilip Riessner\, P.Eng.\nPhilip Riessner graduated from the UBC Mechanical Engineering program in 2015\, and was hired out of school by PETRONAS Energy Canada Ltd.

He have since assumed the position of Water Management Engineer\, where he oversee the sourcing and recycling of water in support of oil and gas development. \nThis is a virtual event and will take place over Zoom. \nWe are looking for young professionals to network with UBC students and help to answer their questions after the presentation. This is a 1.5-hour time commitment; the first hour will be listening to the presentations and panel discussion\, and the following half-hour will include actively discussing the topic\, networking with students and answering questions they may have about your own career. No advance preparation is required. \nIf you have any questions or are interested in volunteering\, please contact: Afzal Waseem: afzal.waseem@tetratech.com; or Martina Riessner: martina.riessner@hatch.com \nClick here to register!
