Livia’s role is diverse, balancing office-based tasks with offshore responsibilities. Her daily duties include maintaining and troubleshooting equipment, overseeing quality control for maintenance files, training personnel, preparing well test reports, and supporting engineers and managers. When offshore, Livia operates and supervises data acquisition at the well site, transmitting real-time data for reservoir analysis and assisting clients in understanding production outputs. Her offshore role requires working in 12-hour shifts, often in challenging weather conditions, ensuring that essential safety protocols and protective equipment are consistently observed.

Livia’s educational foundation includes a Bachelor of Technology and a Petroleum Engineering Technology diploma from Memorial University and the College of the North Atlantic. Inspired by a love for geology and bolstered by high school courses in math, chemistry, and geology, Livia found a natural path into the petroleum industry. Her involvement in public speaking and sports provided early experience in teamwork and communication. She began her career as a Field Operator, progressing to Supervisor and ultimately to her current Operations Support Technician role. Looking ahead, Livia is interested in transitioning to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) administration.

Working typically eight hours a day at Expro Group’s office, Livia commutes 15-20 kilometers from home. Offshore work, however, follows a 12-hour shift schedule, seven days a week. Her role requires readiness for various environments, from onshore to offshore, and occasionally involves international travel to other operational bases in Alberta, Alaska, Norway, Texas, and beyond. On offshore assignments, Livia collaborates with clients to collect well data and supervise rig-up and rig-down procedures for well-testing equipment, tasks that require both physical stamina and technical precision.
