Laura Shand

I have attained a great deal of petrochemical-based experience working for a refinery in Sarnia for my career.  I have a passion for trouble-shooting process operations and optimization.  I am currently working in the area of R&D but most of my career has been interfacing with the process teams to support the refinery operations

Ultimately, I am looking for a position in the area of Process Engineering

I have worked at a refinery in Sarnia for my entire career, holding the following positions:  Refining Support; Process Engineer (Hydrocracker, Atmospheric/Vacuum Pipestill/Lube Plant/Offsites);  Energy Specialist; Site Economist;  Program Lead Lubricant Manufacturing.

The most relevant education for this application:  I graduated from the University of Western Ontario at the top of my class (B. ESc) and  subsequently attained a Master's in Engineering. 

Early in my training, I also attained a Diploma from Lambton College in Chemical Engineering Technology--also graduating at the top of my class.  After graduating from college, I worked in the R&D facility in the Analytical Department, before returning to school to update my education.
