Celebrating Six Years of Excellence: Farewell to a Remarkable Colleague “Becky Wright”

/in /by

In the business world, change is the only constant, and while it brings about challenges, it also heralds new opportunities and adventures. Today, we find ourselves at the crossroads of bidding farewell to a cherished member of our team, “Becky Wright.”

Becky has been a stalwart of our organization for the past six years, and it is both sadness and immense pride as we celebrate her embarking on a new journey of her own.

We want to express our gratitude for Becky’s dedicated service and celebrate her professional growth.

Becky joined PTAG as a Project Controls Coordinator and quickly rose through the ranks, taking on increasingly challenging roles. During her tenure, she played key roles in several of our client’s major projects as a Project Controls Coordinator, then Program Manager and most recently as a Senior Project Management Advisor. In addition, Becky has maintained her Project Management Professional (PMP) and Scheduling Professional (SP) certifications through the PMI and recently became a certified Change Management Practitioner through Prosci.  Her passion for her work and ability to lead and inspire her colleagues have been commendable.

“Over the last 6 years with PTAG, I have learned that Change brings great opportunities!  I have learned never to burn a bridge that you may have to cross again someday.  Connections we make with people we meet along our journey will continue serving us.”

Becky recounts, “Diane Pap and Chris Deidun have been extremely supportive throughout my journey. ….. It was refreshing to have a personal connection with both.”

When asked what is next? Becky replies: “Since registering my company (Milestone Scheduling and Consulting Inc.) with the Indigenous Business Directory through the Government of Canada, opportunities have come up that I am excited to explore.  I hope to continue to offer my knowledge and services to clients, as well as assist them in filling specialized roles on their Projects and help them in Planning Their Success!“

It’s not just about saying goodbye; it’s also about celebrating women’s progress in the professional world. Becky’s journey from a dedicated team member to an entrepreneur reflects the incredible potential and growth that women can achieve in any field. Her story is a testament to the power of determination and unwavering commitment.

Farewell, Becky, and thank you for being a part of PTAG’s journey!

Collaborative contracting for Small Modular Reactors Webinar Recap- October 25, 2023

/in , , /by

The world will increasingly rely on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet its emission reduction targets as it transitions its sources of energy generation. Compared to other generation alternatives, SMRs provide a safer, more reliable, economical, and environmentally responsible alternative for energy generation to supply industry and society.

In this webinar PTAG’s Michael Dubreuil and Bruce Burwell along their CII colleagues presented an update on how Industrial IPD (I2PD) and CII Best Practices are supporting early first-mover SMR projects in both the United States and Canada with growing international interest.

The following topics were discussed in this webinar:

  • The projected SMR market demand
  • Early adopters of Industrial IPD for SMRs
  • What are the key features and benefits of Industrial IPD
  • Several CII Best Practices that will help facilitate industry readiness

For those who missed the live event or wished to revisit the valuable discussions, we have uploaded the full webinar recap video.

The world will increasingly rely on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet its emission reduction targets as it transitions its sources of energy generation. Compared to other generation alternatives, SMRs provide a safer, more reliable, economical, and environmentally responsible alternative for energy generation to supply industry and society.

With the planned pace of energy transition, realizing the potential of SMRs to help meet global emissions targets will require intense cooperation and collaboration amongst stakeholders, that includes: Governments, Regulators, Local Communities, Financial Community, SMR Technology Providers, Electrical Generation Utilities, Industrial Owners, Supply Chains, Project Managers, Engineers, and Constructors.

CII’s groundbreaking research was developed and published in partnership with industry and academia – “Integrated Project Delivery for Industrial Projects” in August of 2018. Known as Industrial IPD this innovative approach to project delivery for industrial projects has been shown to significantly improve design optimization and reduce construction risks by fostering trust, transparency, and alignment between project key stakeholders. Industrial IPD has been shown to reduce risks, costs, schedules and delays while increasing safety, quality, innovation, and value. Industrial IPD uses many of CII’s Best Practices as part of its Framework approach to setting projects up for success.
