Candidates for this year’s election

Councillors:

AETTNL Members,

Please accept this letter as my intention to run for one of the two open seats on council.

I worked the first half of my life as a tradesperson in the automotive industry.  I changed direction in 2017 when I enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at the College of the North Atlantic.  While there, I was introduced to AETTNL, and I then enrolled as a student member.  During that time, I filled the role of student member on council.

Post graduation, I worked with the MUN Engineering department as a Mechanical Technologist in their thermo and fluids labs.  I followed that with a position at Genoa Design International as a Designer/Quality Checker, where I designed and quality-checked production drawings for the shipbuilding industry.  I have recently moved into the industry of commissioning and start-up with Paradigm Technical Services.  This position of Commissioning Specialist has me working as part of the team responsible for getting the TN FPSO back into production.

I would like to have the opportunity to give back to the Association and help its growth in the future.

Thank you for your consideration.

Martin Whiffen, PTech
