Will Cruickshank

Will Cruickshank is a graduate of the Bachelor of Commerce program at Dalhousie University where he obtained a major in Marketing Logistics.

Will joined Encana's Deep Panuke team as a Cost Analyst. He is responsible for reviewing monthly expenditures, analyzing them against the cost breakdown procedure to validate and reconcile transactions from the company chart of accounts. He interfaces with the commercial group to make monthly updates to the project commitment database with new or revised procurement approval requirements. Will is also responsible for monthly accurals, reconciling budgets and providing forecasts to management. He produces a status report each month that states current forecasts for the year and life of project across all aspects of work at Deep Panuke. The report includes a high level summary of where the overages and savings have occurred.

"This project is a great opportunity for a recent graduate and for Nova Scotia. As a member of the Deep Panuke team, I have gained a solid base for what will hopefully become a long career in the oil and gas industry," says Will. "Once Deep Panuke begins operations my plans are to remain within the oil and gas industry and find work on another project. I can think of nothing more exciting than traveling the world moving from one project to the next."

Born in Halifax, but raised in Mt. Denson, Nova Scotia, Will is a huge film fan, and enjoys staying active by mountain biking, playing basketball and snowboarding.
