Professional Experience

Oct 2023 – Present

Electrical Engineer specializing in Hydro One Make Ready (HONI) projects. Responsible for pole replacement designs, framing standard applications, AutoCAD drafting, and GIS integration. Applied SPIDACalc software for pole loading analysis and aerial clearance compliance. Developed internal tools and automation scripts to optimize drawing workflows and ensure data integrity across multiple engineering teams.

2023

Completed a hands-on bootcamp focusing on Selenium, Java, Python, API testing, CI/CD pipelines, and automation scripting. Acquired practical experience in agile testing environments and built robust testing frameworks.

2021–2022

Gained strong foundations in project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closing. Worked with tools like MS Project and JIRA while practicing stakeholder communication, budgeting, and risk assessment.

2019 – 2021

Worked as a QA/QC and Electrical Field Engineer in large-scale international power and oil & gas infrastructure projects. Ensured IEC and ISO compliance, managed desert terrain grounding installations, performed SCADA integrations, and conducted QA inspections across electrical subsystems. Resolved issues like cable misidentification, grounding rod separation, and electrical harmonics through redesign and field modifications.

2016 – 2019

Served as Electrical and Electronics Engineer / Site Chief across multiple major hospital projects:

• Led full-scope electrical infrastructure: generators, UPS, SCADA systems, LV-MV panels, fire detection and suppression systems, and structured cabling.
• Installed addressable emergency lighting systems (AVEX) with remote testability and automation integration.
• Designed routing plans for conduits and cable trays, synchronizing with structural and mechanical constraints.
• Mitigated installation issues via enforced cable labeling protocol and pre-commissioning inspection workflows (NFI).
• Supervised integration of mechanical automation devices into electrical panels through coordinated point lists and progress tracking dashboards.
• Coordinated closely with construction teams to avoid electrical clash with wall frames and concrete work.

Nov 2018 – Feb 2019

Electrical Site Chief responsible for FTR and TSB buildings. Consolidated multi-building Excel reports into a unified master tracker for all project activities. Managed in-wall and in-ceiling cable routing plans, ensured coordination with mechanical teams, and tracked delivery of data panels and light fixtures. Oversaw mechanical automation checklists and performed conflict resolution between trades.

2014 – 2016

Instrumentation & Control Engineer focusing on SCADA systems and hazardous area equipment installations. Improved HMI interfaces, resolved field transmitter and manifold issues, implemented grounding solutions, and optimized control logic for ash handling systems. Supervised pre-commissioning tests including leakage control with pressurized air and PLC grounding diagnostics.
