For new Senior Vice President Production Andrew Rosser moving to Fort McMurray and working with Syncrude feels like returning “home.”
“We’ve lived in a lot of different places but Fort McMurray is where I will always call home. It was my home for more than 30 years,” says Andrew.
The new SVP and his family moved to the community in 1980 from the U.K., with both his parents working with Syncrude. “I remember the strong family feel of Syncrude growing up – the BBQs, the hockey games, the lobster boils,” says Andrew.
He joined Syncrude as a new graduate in 1998. In a span of a decade he served in a variety of positions, including leadership, with Operations, Maintenance, Technical and Business Development before moving onto Shell Albian Sands to support the Jackpine Mine Expansion.
Syncrude plays a critical role in providing trusted energy that enhances people’s lives, while being safe, reliable, responsible and profitable.
