Ukukhangisa kummeli uLaura Zagar
U-Laura Godfrey Zagar ungummeli waseSan Diego owenza umthetho wezemvelo nokuphikisana. Njengomlingani e-Environmental, Energy & Resources practice ePherkins Coie, uye waba nengxenye evelele emigqeni eminingana yokudlulisa kanye namaphrojekthi avuselelwe amandla. Uhlala ephethe amandla amaningi, amandla anzima, kanye nezinhlelo zengqalasizinda kanye nokuhlukumezeka okuphathelene nokusingqongileyo.
I-Laura imelela izinsizakalo, abathuthukisi bamandla, nabanye ngaphambi kwe-federal, state, kanye ne-ejenti yendawo. Okuhlangenwe nakho kweprojekthi yakhe kuhlanganisa imigqa emikhulu yokudlulisela phambili, kanye nemiklamo yomoya kanye neyelanga. U-Laura unolwazi olunzulu neCalifornia Public Utilities Commission, kanye nokusetshenziswa komhlaba komhlaba kanye nendawo yasendaweni kanye nezinsiza zemithombo yemvelo. Ingxenye eyodwa yolwazi lwakhe olujulile yinkqubo yokuhlela yokudlulisela, ikakhulukazi njengoba iqhutshwa yiCalifornia Independent System Operator (CAISO).
Lapha kubheka uLaura nomsebenzi akwenzayo ensimini yezemvelo, futhi kungani ethanda umsebenzi wakhe.
1. Kungani wanquma ukuya esikoleni somthetho (futhi uhambephi), futhi ube ngummeli?
Ngifisa sengathi nginesichazo esihlakaniphile nesicatshangelwe ukuthi kungani ngiya esikoleni somthetho, kodwa angiyikho. Ngiphuma ekolishi, ngacabanga ngephutha ukuthi izinketho zami zazilinganiselwe - esikoleni samakhredithi, ukubonisana, ibhange lokutshala izimali, noma isikolo somthetho - kanye nesikole somthetho kwakukukhangisa kakhulu kulawo ongakhetha.
Ekubuyiseleni, lo mbono wawunembile.
Kodwa-ke, angizisoli ngesinqumo sami, njengoba isikole somthetho kwakuyindlela efanele. Ngangikujabulela ukucabanga ukuthi ngicabanga kanjani njengommeli nokuthi izimpendulo ezifanele zenkinga azizona yini ezimnyama nomhlophe njengoba sicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ekuqaleni.
2. Kungani ukhethe indawo yakho yokusebenza? Kuthiwani ngalokho okukujabulisayo?
Ngakhetha ekuqaleni umthetho wezemvelo kanye namandla ngenxa yabantu abasebenza kule ndawo kokubili ngaphakathi kwenkampani futhi amaklayenti ayevame ukugxila enenhliziyo enhle yamahlaya.
Yiziphi izinto ezazingigcina endaweni yokusebenza, noma kunjalo, yizindaba ezibalulekile nezithakazelisayo esizibhekene nazo njengomphakathi ezindaweni ezisezemvelo nezamandla. Kubalulekile ukufaka isandla ekuphenduleni umphakathi kulezi zinselele. Ngamafuphi, uma ngivula izibani, kuyajabulisa kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi ngisize ukwenza lokhu kwenzeke.
Ngitshele ngomsebenzi owenzayo ku-Environment, Energy & Resources practice yakho. Yiziphi ezinye zezinso ozisebenzisayo?
Imikhuba yami iyisimiso esiyithakazelisayo somthetho wokulawula, wokuthengiselana, kanye nomsebenzi wokuphikisa. Umsebenzi wami omkhulu ugxile ekusizeni amaklayenti ekuhambeni kwezinhlelo ezilawulwayo zikahulumeni, zombuso, kanye nezendawo ezilawula ukuthuthukiswa kwemisebenzi yamandla kanye nengqalasizinda. Ngokwesibonelo, ngiye ngakusiza amaklayenti ekuthuthukiseni amaphrojekthi amakhulu okudlulisa imigqa eSouth California ukuthi amazwe angaphansi komhlaba, amazwe wombuso, kanye nemiphakathi eminingi. Kukhona kaningi amaningi e-federal, state, kanye nama-ejensi asendaweni anesimo sokuthi kufanele kwenziwe kanjani le misebenzi. Ukusebenza amaklayenti ami, ngisiza ukuhamba ngalolu daba lokulawula ukuze ngempumelelo uthole iphrojekthi eyakhiwe ngokuphepha, ngesikhathi, futhi ngokuhambisana nemithethonqubo yemvelo.
Ngiphinde ngimele amaklayenti ezindabeni ezibandakanya izinkinga eziyinkimbinkimbi zemvelo, kusukela ezinselele kuya kumaphrojekthi engqalasizinda kuze kulungiswe impahla engcolile.
4. Kungani umthetho wezemvelo ubalulekile namuhla?
Njengomphakathi, sibhekene nezinselelo ezinkulu zemvelo, ikakhulukazi ushintsho lwezulu. Njengoba iCalifornia ihola indlela emhlabeni wonke, cishe zonke izici zempilo yethu zingadinga ukucatshangelwa. Izindlu zethu zizoklanywa ngokuhlukile, ukudla kwethu kuzokhula ngendlela ehlukile, amadidi ethu azobukeka ahlukile, futhi izindlela zethu zokuhamba zizoshintsha. Imithetho yezemvelo yiyona eyinhloko yalezi zinguquko, kuhlanganise noMthetho We-Clean Air, uMthetho Wezinhlobo Eziphephile, kanye neziningi zamandla okuvuselelwa kanye / noma imigomo yokuncishiswa kwegesi lokushisa.
5. Ngabameli abaningi abakhetha umsebenzi wokuzikhandla, kungani ukhetha umsebenzi oqinile? Ngenxa yemvelo yami, kubalulekile ukuthi ube nebhedi elijulile lochwepheshe abangakwazi ukuboleka ubuchwepheshe njengoba kuphakama izimpikiswano ezinhlelweni ezinkulu ezingqalasizinda ezakha ingxenye enkulu yomkhuba wami.
Nakuba nginolwazi oluningi ezindabeni eziningi eziphakama, njengezinhlobo ezisengozini kanye nezinye izinkinga zemithombo yemvelo, la maphrojekthi ngokuvamile aphakamisa izinkinga eziningi zemvelo ngokungazelelwe. E-Perkins Coie, ngingabiza ochwepheshe cishe kuzo zonke izici zomthetho wokusetshenziswa kwemvelo nokusetshenziswa komhlaba lapho kwenziwa khona okungalindelekile.
6. Yini enye ofuna ukuyengeza mayelana nawe, umkhuba wakho, noma iseluleko sabameli abasha?
Ngikhuthaza abameli abasha ukuba bagweme ukuyeka umkhuba womthetho ngoba abathokozi endaweni abangase baqale ngayo. Ngazama izindawo eziningana ngaphambi kokufika ekugcineni endaweni engokwemvelo kanye namandla. Akuzona zonke izindawo zokusebenza ezifanayo, futhi ngokuvamile ziba nobuntu bazo. Ngenkathi umuntu engase akwazi ukubhekana nemigomo yendabuko yokuziphatha, angase aphumelele ekusebenziseni umhlaba. Ukuze usize ukuthola ukuthi yiziphi izindawo ezingase zivumelane nobuntu bakho kangcono, khuluma nabasebenzi ezindaweni okuthandayo ukuthi ubone ukuthi yikuphi okungcono kakhulu.
