- Lead engineer for the full-cycle retrofit of 80 protection relays and 16 Control & Protection panels across EHV, HV, and MV substations. Responsible for scheme modification, installation, configuration, testing, commissioning, and as-built drawing updates.
- Hands-on Relay Expertise: Distance, Biased/High-Impedance Differential, Overcurrent, Earth Fault, Breaker Failure, Synchro-check, Auto-reclose, and Voltage/Frequency protection schemes, ...etc.
- Systems & Integration: Retrofit and calibration of measuring devices (MW, MVAr, A, V, Hz) with analog interfaces (4-20mA, 0-10V) and digital interfaces (Modbus (RTU/TCP)), and developing skills in IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, and DNP3 protocols.
- Experience with AIS and GIS switchgear in various busbar configurations (Double Busbar - Double/Single/1.5 Breaker, and Single Busbar).
- Comprehensive testing of protection schemes, relays, CTs, and VTs.
- Prepared procedures for switching, energization, isolation methods for testing, commissioning, and maintenance work.
- Executed Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures and obtained/managed Permit-to-Work (PTW) and Limited-Access-Permit (LAP) permits during works on primary and secondary equipment.

- Managed 3.27MWp on-grid PV systems, including 1.77MWp MV-tied systems.
- Oversaw corrective/preventive maintenance, performance reporting, and system optimization.
- Site engineering for 1.3MWp on-grid + 29kWp off-grid PV projects.

- Delivered courses in Electrical Power Transmission & Distribution Networks, High Voltage
Technology, and Energy Systems.

- Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Performed electrical maintenance on critical port infrastructure,
including Ship-to-Shore (STS) and Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes.
- PLC & SCADA Systems: Assisted in troubleshooting Siemens S7-300/400 and Fuji MICREX-SX PLCs
within industrial automation environments; gained foundational exposure to SCADA monitoring and
control systems.
- Drive System Diagnostics: Used Siemens DriveMon software to troubleshoot and analyze Siemens
MasterDrive variable frequency drives.
- Predictive Maintenance Training: Participated in thermal imaging inspections of electrical
components and motors to identify potential failures.
- Applied and adhered to strict industrial safety protocols in a high-risk operational environment.
