“My #AeroPassion is safety.”
Romina's Biography
Since obtaining my degree in Chemical Engineering from UBC, I have donned Tyvek suits complemented by full face masks (glamorous, I know); gone cross-eyed counting asbestos fibres; digested sewage; made worm puree; stirred and sampled molten gold; got chased by dogs while tracing buried pipelines; and finally, after too much excitement, settled to work with cyanide and chromium instead… These experiences began in an environmental consulting firm in BC, to an analytical lab, a precious metals company in Ontario, a natural gas distributor and now, an aerospace firm in Manitoba. I am looking for my next adventure, though – hopefully, back in BC!
Senior Process Engineer – provide global support to StandardAero facilities on cleaning, stripping, plating, etc. of aircraft engines; oversee the treatment of industrial waste water; support the blasting/mechanical surface preparation of components
StandardAero is a leading Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) company over a hundred years strong. The variety of services it offers not only meets customer needs but also allows its employees to continuously learn and grow.
I enjoy the exposure to a broad variety of challenges, which constantly hones and expands my technical, managerial and decision-making skills.
Some memorable projects include the development of a chemical processing tool which reduced the turn-around time by 85% and a precious metal recovery project that saved the company about $50K/yr.
The support I provide generally allows life to go on more smoothly for our staff, whether through resolving a production stoppage, sourcing or developing a better mechanism to accomplish a task, or even just hearing out their technical (and personal) concerns.
For women to have more options regarding schedules (part time/full time/home-based) to ease the strain of balancing family and work life. Supporting this could mean being more involved in women-in-engineering groups and initiatives for a more unified voice.
Let your work speak for you.
