Comprehensive work experience, in Multi-Discipline Planning/Analysis, Maintenance, Management, Engineering and Supervision of projects. I have professional experience in power system planning and analysis including assessment of transmission expansion and reinforcement plans, preparation of functional specifications for transmission system requirements for identified facilities, project monitoring and coordinating with Government and regulatory bodies.

Recently, I have attained Masters in Electrical Engineering with major in Power Systems. This gives me an up-to-date insight to the present progresses in Power systems.

I have conducted transmission system impact assessments and system performance studies for many Power system scenarios. The studies included power planning using the state of the art analytical tools like PSS/E program package.

Having also experience of Transmission line and Substation design including budgeting and scheduling. I have prepared and reviewed single line drawings for electrical systems, Completed bills of materials (BOMs), engineering change orders (ECOs) and notice of revisions (NORs). Have extensive experience of preparing the work packages on the basis of design for trade personnel to work in the field. Experience, working with cable and wiring database and installation, and termination of cables.

I am highly proficient with Computers and computer networks. Experience of working with lots of Engineering programs and designing of systems databases. Advance user of MS Office etc.

Depending on my present studies and my past experience, I can be an advantage to the jobs concerning Power systems/studies, Transmission and Substation design, including project operations and system database design.
