  • Art Obseth

    Just discovered your podcast on LinkedIn. Really excited to see you interviewed Art Obseth. Just finished listening to that podcast and really enjoyed hearing Art’s voice again. I was an Industrial Systems Engineering student from 1993 to 1998. He was certainly one of my favourite professors and an excellent teacher.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Manufacturing, Potash, and Agriculture: Greg Godwin
Q: What are the main responsibilities of your current role at BASF Regina?
I oversee a team of engineers and technicians, ensuring the plant runs reliably and safely, managing capital projects, upgrades, and maintenance to support production and introduce new capacity when needed.
Fixing and Building Dams: Rayna Belyk-Kaytor
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring engineers about career paths?
Engineering is a broad degree with many pathways beyond technical mastery; be willing to network, embrace different roles (leadership, project management, technical expert), and be comfortable with evolving your path over time.
Fixing and Building Dams: Rayna Belyk-Kaytor
Q: What was a turning point early in your engineering career?
The mentorship with Dr. Jack Mollard and a pivotal co-op experience designing a hydroelectric dam steered me toward dam projects and set the tone for valuing hands-on learning and mentorship in engineering.
Fixing and Building Dams: Rayna Belyk-Kaytor
Q: How did you decide to pursue engineering after initially considering dentistry?
A family influence and curiosity about how things are engineered convinced me to switch paths; I found engineering offered a practical way to combine math, science, and outdoor work, and a grandfather's encouragement helped me embrace the field.
A Career in Municipal and Water Engineering: Tom Williams
Q: What was your first job after you graduated, and how did that shape the rest of your career?
My first job was with UMA Engineering on an irrigation study project after a classmate recommended me; that start planted my footing in water resources and land development. It gave me hands-on experience with designing and managing large municipal-scale projects and taught me valuable lessons about client relationships and managing pressure on complex infrastructure work.
