There카지노 게임 컬렉션s more to Janet Pollard카지노 게임 컬렉션s job than just keeping the lights on.

As one of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s electrical engineers, she has a hand in nearly all of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s electrical infrastructure, from planning the power sourcing of a new building to the maintenance of emergency generators. Her role requires both an eye for detail and a sense of the big picture.

카지노 게임 컬렉션When we develop or review electrical specifications and drawings, it can be for a variety of things,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Pollard says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It could be a small office renovation or it could be the construction of a whole new building. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is almost like a small town, so there카지노 게임 컬렉션s always a lot to keep in mind and a lot to do.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Ms. Pollard came to her role in January 2006 following seven years spent in the automotive sector. After her time in an auto glass production plant, she felt ready for a change.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Supporting a manufacturing plant can be much more demanding on your personal life. Nights, weekends, and holidays are not always your own as you are often called in to resolve issues that are halting production. Although working at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s also has its share of demands, there is more opportunity for a work-life balance. Of course, when the chips are down and power is off in a building, we카지노 게임 컬렉션re here around the clock to fix it.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Coming to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was something of a homecoming for Ms. Pollard, who graduated from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science in 1998, but it didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t take long before she was in the thick of things.

카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s been busy from pretty much day one,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션There have been major construction projects since I got here: the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Centre, the Goodes Hall Extension, new Medical Building and the Isabel Bader Centre. That said, this summer is shaping up to be our busiest yet.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

Campus is receiving a wide range of much-needed electrical upgrades over the coming months, and Ms. Pollard is helping to oversee them. There카지노 게임 컬렉션s work being done to prepare for the revitalization of Richardson Stadium, electrical equipment retrofits and fire alarm upgrades to some of campus카지노 게임 컬렉션 older buildings and the replacement of the main electrical switchboard for the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Central Power Plant, to name just a few.

카지노 게임 컬렉션When we develop or review electrical specifications and drawings, it can be for a variety of things. It could be a small office renovation or it could be the construction of a whole new building. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is almost like a small town, so there카지노 게임 컬렉션s always a lot to keep in mind and a lot to do.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Though we use electricity constantly, we don카지노 게임 컬렉션t often stop to think about the work or systems that keep it running, something Ms. Pollard says comes from design. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s buildings are powered by 카지노 게임 컬렉션electrical feeders카지노 게임 컬렉션 that connect them to the power grid and most have redundancies, meaning power can be provided from multiple sources. Those redundancies help prevent prolonged power failures and allow isolation of feeders without building disruption.

카지노 게임 컬렉션We can move a building onto another feeder without anyone inside being disturbed or even knowing that we카지노 게임 컬렉션ve made any change,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.

Her job is mostly behind the scenes work, making everything run smoothly, and that suits Ms. Pollard just fine.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I do what I do to try to support others in their work,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s nice knowing that I help make campus systems more reliable so that students, faculty and staff can perform their jobs and studies 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the things they came here to do 카지노 게임 컬렉션 without being disrupted.카지노 게임 컬렉션
