His AMP Course 6 Capstone Project was nominated by his instructor, and selected as this year's AMP Capstone Award winning project. The AMP Capstone Award encourages and recognizes excellence in the Asset Management Professional (AMP) program final project, the Capstone. During this presentation, Ian will share more insights into himself, his organization, his award winning AMP capstone presentation and how his learnings in the AMP program have impacted his organization.
Ian is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), a Certified Asset Management Professional (CAMP™) and Project Management Professional (PMP) with over 30 years of experience in managing teams in commercial shipping, submarine nuclear industry, project management, and asset management. Ian has been working with the Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) since moving to Canada from the UK in 2012. After five years as a Project Manager for plant upgrades and replacements he accepted the Asset Manager position for thermal plants which he has been doing for the last four years.Due to the geography of the Northwest Territories and the widely scattered communities, grid connection for community power supply is not possible. Therefore, Ian’s asset management experience has been largely with small isolated diesel plants and one new hybrid diesel-solar-battery micro-grid plant in Colville Lake. Ian conducts annual asset health inspections which form part of his capital planning process and he is also involved in day-to-day operational issues that require immediate solutions.Prior to coming to Canada, Ian worked for Rolls-Royce Marine in the UK, latterly as a project manager for a five nation, ten company EU-funded project looking at noise and vibration reduction for future European-built fast ferries. The remainder of his time with Rolls-Royce Marine was mainly concerned with safety and reliability aspects of the nuclear submarine steam raising plant. Ian started his working life as an engineering cadet and then worked on commercial shipping managing the running and maintenance of marine machinery.
