After three years, they are still working together on challenging projects, including a recent replacement of four high-voltage generators at a water treatment facility servicing Sarnia and surrounding municipalities. The core challenge will be to ensure continuous service as they conduct the upgrades and work within the constraints of existing structures. The sheer scale of the project is unlike any other either of them have worked on in the past, providing them both with opportunities to learn and grow. “The more I get into it, the more confidence I have,” says Thanh. “Arka tells me to look for the challenges, and this is definitely a project that comes around only once or twice in a career. I’d say it’s much like my mentor.”
