Get to know our new Sales Representatives. We have recently made a few additions to our Gas Transmission West, Producer/Markets Sales team.
Mark Mulder, Sales Representative
Mark started with TransCanada in 1998 and worked in many areas of the System Design and Operations group. In the Gas Control area, Mark was responsible for monitoring and controlling facilities to ensure the required gas volumes, linepack and contract pressures were achieved on a daily basis. He learned a lot about the Alberta System in this role. He also worked in Customer Solutions, where he was introduced to the tools required to design the TransCanada System. He was responsible for evaluating customer requests to determine what facilities, if any, were required to accommodate these requests. Mark's most recent role was in Mainline Planning, where he developed long-term facility plans for TransCanada's Alberta and BC Systems.
Mark holds a bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Regina and a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta. Mark's extensive experience in TransCanada and the industry will be a valuable contribution to our Sales team. Mark Mulder can be contacted at 403.920.5333.
