BC Safety requires certified plant personnel operating fired pressure equipment. Certificates are 1st (highest level) to 4th Class. What class of Power Engineers – and how many – will Woodfibre employ?

Thank you for your question Douglas.

At this time, Woodfibre LNG is finalizing the design for our proposed facility and for that reason cannot commit to any specific level of certification or numbers for operations at this stage. We are currently working with government agencies like the Oil and Gas Commission, and local post-secondary institutions to help develop training programs to ensure British Columbians are ready for the opportunity that Woodfibre will bring to BC. Woodfibre LNG is committed to hiring locally, whenever we can.  As part of our hiring strategy, we expect to recruit workers with experience in related industries, and then develop and train them to an international competency standard, which is recognized in the LNG industry.”
