    Feb 2025 - Present -7 months

    Saudi Arabia

    • Job Details:Designed 132kV GIS substation layouts and single-line diagrams using AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical. Developed detailed cable routing, grounding, and control schematics in compliance with SEC standards. Coordinated with civil and protection teams for equipment room and panel integration. Reviewed and validated short circuit and protection coordination studies for safe operations. Conducted equipment selection and technical evaluations for GIS components including circuit breakers, disconnectors, and instrument transformers. Prepared bill of quantities (BOQ), material take-offs (MTO), and technical specifications for procurement and tendering. Ensured adherence to IEC, IEEE, and SEC standards during design and documentation phases. Supported site teams with as-built drawings, redline markups, and remote troubleshooting during installation and commissioning. Participated in FAT/SAT activities, validating panel wiring, protection relays, and interlock logic with vendors and clients. Performed interface engineering between protection, SCADA, and telecom systems to ensure seamless integration within the 132kV GIS substation. Managed design revisions and change control processes to accommodate client feedback and site constraints without impacting project timelines. Utilized ETAP and other simulation tools for load flow, grounding, and arc flash analysis to enhance system performance and safety.

    Feb 2024 - Jan 2025 -11 months

    Pakistan

    • Job Details:Assisted in transformer oil testing: helped collect oil samples and test properties like moisture content, dielectric strength, and acidity to ensure the transformer operates safely. Learned protection relay settings: observed how settings like overcurrent, earth fault, and differential protection are configured and tested using secondary injection kits. Joined field visits for line inspection: went out with teams to inspect towers, insulators, and conductors. Participated in infrared thermography scans to assist in using thermal cameras for detecting hotspots in transformers, circuit breakers, and busbars, identifying potential issues before failure occurs. Supported the team in performing offline and online partial discharge tests on high-voltage equipment to assess insulation health. Monitored load and voltage levels using portable meters and data loggers during field visits to check for load imbalances, voltage drops, and harmonic distortions on distribution lines. Helped in tower earthing checks by measuring tower footing resistance and verifying the continuity of earthing systems to ensure effective lightning and fault current dissipation.
