ASET Technology Alberta Winter 2022 - 22

From its first project in Canada in the 1940s (a refinery in British
Columbia) to some of its latest ventures (such as renewable
diesel projects) Fluor continues to be at the forefront of
some of the country's most prominent developments.
Headquartered in Calgary, Fluor has executed energy projects
in Alberta since the 1970s. They've implemented some
of the province's largest and most challenging projects, and
continuously provide sustaining capital services to maintain
their clients' valuable assets.
In recent history, Fluor
has provided technical and project management services,
as well as self-perform construction solutions, to projects
such as the Shell Quest Carbon Capture and Storage, Fort
Hills Utilities & Offsites, North West Redwater Sturgeon Refinery
and Heartland Petrochemical Complex.
Today the company proudly executes energy transition
projects in Alberta. These include front-end engineering,
and detailed design, engineering, and procurement services
contract work for Imperial's renewable diesel project,
near Edmonton.
Kelty Macleod is the manager of engineering with Fluor, at
its Calgary office. As a 24-year veteran with the company,
Macleod has experience working on sites throughout Alberta
and in the United States, including Waco, Texas. Her portfolio
has ranged from smaller, fit-for-purpose projects, to
giant ventures that can take three to four years to complete.
Macleod has spent her entire professional engineering career
with Fluor. " I started right out of university as a structural
engineer, so doing design calculation type work, " she recalls.
" That led me to a lot of amazing opportunities in sites
and fabrication shops all throughout Alberta and the US. "
Macleod began leading discipline teams before moving into
engineering management, coordinating the engineering disciplines
from there. This transition into a lead role had its
share of interesting challenges.
" My first job as a civil structural lead was a great development
opportunity. I hadn't been a lead yet, " Macleod recalls.
" I had a team of about 65 people on that project. " The project
had a set scope at the beginning, which was continually
added to by the client over its duration.
Fluor corporation boasts a workforce of over 41,000 employees
operating in over 100 countries around the world.

" Being adaptable and absorbing all of that additional scope
while maintaining our schedule was a big challenge. At the
time, that group of 65 was probably the biggest group I had
to manage personally, which was a challenge, but an accomplishment
as well, " she says.
This early growth opportunity is
something that's defined Macleod's
entire Fluor career. " They've always
given me an opportunity to grow.
There's always something else that I
can move into, " she says. That chance
to grow and excel in a role isn't the
only reason Macleod has stayed at the
company so long; another big reason
has been her team members.
" When people ask me why I have worked at Fluor for this
amount of time, I say it's the people, " she says. " Everybody
is inclusive, and it's always a great group of people to work
with. Sure, there are challenges, we see that in any work
environment, but the people are the biggest factor. "
