Pam is from St. John’s, NL…a purebred Townie! Her dad is from Quidi Vidi and her mom is from Centre City!
As Manager, Asset Integrity and Verification, Atlantic Region, Pamela helps make sure offshore equipment is safe, reliable and meets strict regulations. Her work supports two major offshore operations: the SeaRose FPSO production vessel and the West White Rose drilling installation.
Pam brings 20 years of experience to the role with a diverse background in regulatory compliance, asset integrity, risk-based inspection and verification. Pam has worked with Cenovus since 2017 as a verification engineer. Before that she worked as an offshore surveyor with DNV, where she inspected and certified ships and offshore facilities around the world – from the SeaRose to cruise ships! Pam has an infectious positive attitude and an ability to bring people together to focus on a common goal, critical skills and behaviors needed to maintain safe operations offshore.
Some fun facts: Pam is a mom to a boy who plays A LOT of sports! In her free time she enjoys walking, biking, hiking, swimming, etc. And she loves to travel. Her passion from travel started with several workterms through Engineering where she left the province and the country!
Cool Experience: One of the pictures below is Pamela starting the giant main engine on the Searose FPSO while it was in Belfast for drydock maintenance. She got to press the button to start the engine for the first time in almost a year! It felt very similar to starting your car with the push button except these engines are rated for 7800 kiloWatts—an average SUV is rated for 140 kiloWatts!

Kim Jarvis
Position: Cenovus Energy
Production Engineer, Production Operations, Atlantic Region
Education: Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical (MUN), Master of Engineering Management (University of Ottawa)
Read Kim's full story – Click to access
Born and raised on Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula, known to many as “The Boot” because of its distinctive shape on the map, Kim Jarvis grew up in the rural community of Lawn on Newfoundland’s south coast. Growing up in a small rural town helped shape her strong work ethic, adaptability, and appreciation for community.
Kim attended a local K-12 school where she developed an early interest in science and mathematics. To meet the admission requirements for engineering, she completed several advanced high school courses through the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (CDLI), including Physics and Calculus. As the only student in her graduating class taking these courses, she relied heavily on the support of her distance learning teachers and learned the importance of independence, perseverance, and self-motivation.
Following high school, Kim attended Memorial University of Newfoundland, where she earned a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree. Throughout her studies, she completed six engineering work terms, gaining valuable industry experience with ExxonMobil, Nalcor Energy, and Husky Energy. These opportunities provided exposure to a variety of operational and engineering environments and helped build the foundation for her future career in the energy industry.
Upon graduation, Kim was accepted into the Engineering-in-Training (EIT) program with Husky Energy. This opportunity led her to Western Canada, where she spent more than three years working in operations and production roles across Alberta, including Grande Prairie, Lloydminster, and Calgary. These experiences allowed her to develop a strong operational background while working in diverse fields and office environments across the upstream oil and gas sector.
While working in Alberta, Kim began pursuing a Master of Engineering Management degree at the University of Ottawa. In 2022, she returned home to Newfoundland and Labrador to join the Subsurface Production team, where she spent nearly four years supporting offshore production optimization and subsurface operations. In 2025, she successfully completed her master’s degree.
Today, Kim works in the Production Operations group, supporting the day-to-day operations of the West White Rose Platform.

As Senior Subsea Control Engineer, Angela is responsible for monitoring the health of the White Rose subsea control system, troubleshooting concerns as they arise, as well as, executing innovative repairs/upgrades necessary for continuing subsea oil production from the White Rose field.
Angela brings 14 years of experience to the role with a diverse background in subsea equipment design systems, engineering, and subsea operational strategies. Angela has worked with Cenovus since 2012 in a variety of Subsea Engineering roles. When Angela started at Cenovus, she joined as Junior Subsea Equipment Engineer assisting the Subsea Projects Team with the delivery of necessary subsea equipment for the SWRX Tie-back Project. In that role, Angela gained valuable knowledge traveling globally to equipment manufacturing sites to witness equipment build and test. Once the equipment was successfully delivered, Angela also prepared it for subsea installation and travelled offshore on subsea construction vessels for installation activities. After project was concluded, Angela was moved into the Subsea Operations Team, where she continued to work with new subsea equipment orders including a rotation to Malaysia for Subsea Christmas Tree fabrication and test.
