Usually I tell people I work for the RCMP and they all assume that I’m an officer, but I’m like, no, I work for them. I’m not an actual officer. I’m a public servant.

My day to day is usually operating the steam boilers and doing water tasks and coordinating with on site maintenance, such as our electrical shop or HVAC or refrigeration to make sure our clients, or the individuals on site, are comfortable in their working environment.

When I applied for it, when I was in school, I didn’t really think much of it because it was just a pool of applications. They were just looking for a power engineer. So I chuck my name in there; I was thinking I would end up somewhere in a military installation such as Trenton, Ontario, but then Regina RCMP called saying “we have a site that we can use you at.”

And I was like, “oh, you guys use power engineers” And they’re like, “yeah, we actually manage this giant site like a campus,” not really knowing much about it. And that’s kind of how I ended up there.
