No two days are the same, which is why they all have one thing in common — they work well under pressure! “A good PDR is adaptable, communicates well, and has the ability to stay calm when things shift quickly,” says Planning & Dispatch Representative Breanna Cattell who works at SaskEnergy’s Regina Service Centre. “You have to be able to reprioritize in real time without losing your footing.” “Within the PDR roles there are a...
