"I first book a meeting with the client so that I can understand and empathise with their concerns about the timeline. I then explain the various parts of our project timeline so that the client can comprehend why we created the timeline this way. I also try to see if there is anything we can do to mitigate the client's concerns without making unrealistic promises."

"It is natural to have conflicting ideas within a project. I try to listen carefully to my coworker's specific reasons they disagree with me. I also make sure that they understand my perspective by explaining it as objectively as possible. Once we both understand the merits and risks of our ideas, we may try to find a compromise. If a compromise isn't possible, we get input from other colleagues while making it clear that we don't view this dispute as a personal matter and that they should express their true opinion."

"My previous position with BHT Technologies introduced me tothe Six Sigma process, which wasa foundational piece of their continuous improvement. Since it was a major focus, it taught me the importance of how improving the automation processes that I directly managed provided for a better customer experience. For example, every day I..."

"Regarding my understanding of programmeming PLC robotic equipment within a manufacturing facility, I would consider myself to be at an intermediate level. I have sound knowledge of the theory of PLC robotics and am very comfortable completing maintenance and updates. I have approximately two years of experience..."

"One of my favourite courses in university was the advanced programme in Automation Systems Integration. It dealt directly with assessing and analyzing the functionality of autonomous equipment. Although I have not worked with mining equipment specifically, I have worked within the lumber industry, which also uses several pieces of autonomous equipment."

"The automation engineering profession moves at such a quick pace that it is important for me to stay on top of the latest developments. Because this is a priority for me, I am a member of the Canadian Process Control Association, which allows me to continue learning and upgrading my skills, such as through industry events and professional training."

"I am familiar with working in a highly structured quality control process. At the beginning of a project, I create a detailed outline of all quality checkpoints throughout the job. This gives me a clear roadmap to ensure that we catch any mistakes before moving to the next step."

"Throughout my career, I have worked with PLC and HMI technology in various capacities. When I first entered the workforce, I upgraded my HMI skills within the year so that I could be a better resource for my team and offer a higher level of troubleshooting skills. Then I..."

"One of the most challenging experiences I've had was when I went to commission a brand new HMI interface at CKR Industries. When I arrived at the customer's site, I began the commissioning process. Then there was a massive failure in the communication between the touch screens in the manufacturing plant and computers. The first thing I did was document exactly what error codes were showing. Then I..."

"When I've had to deal with a major failure, I typically follow the same process each time so that I can assess the issue and be as efficient as possible in finding a solution. The first thing I do is evaluate exactly what is happening within the system. For example, I determine if it is a constant or intermittent problem. Then I..."

"I have been the project manager on several high-profile projects, and I loved the challenge. To me, it is important to clearly define the goals of the project right from the beginning, so as I bring people into the project, they know immediately what their role is and how they contribute to the success of the project. Then I..."

"I think my colleagues would describe me as someone who leads by example. I try to provide my team with clear expectations so that everyone knows their role within a project and I maintain open lines of communication so that I can deal with challenges immediately."

"When I am presenting technical information during a client meeting to an audience of non-technical people, I like to use simplified concepts and analogies to express the overall content. I analyse the audience in the room and adjust my delivery accordingly."

"I love the challenge of working with other professionals, as they bring a unique perspective to a project or challenge. I try to explain my ideas in a clear common language that we can all understand. I also ask lots of questions to clarify and summarise ideas as I go."

"When I was researching the company, I noticed that there seems to an opportunity to improve the efficiency of PLC programmeming and to streamline the process. The reason I suggest this is..."
