Successfully maintained and supported operations across multiple utility-scale solar farms in regional Victoria, with hands-on experience in SMA inverter servicing, preventative maintenance, and fault finding. Regularly assist with HV switching operations and play a key role in keeping large renewable energy infrastructure running safely and efficiently. Trusted to work independently in remote locations, liaising with engineers and site managers to troubleshoot and resolve issues. Known for being reliable, safety-focused, and adaptable, with a strong work ethic and commitment to upskilling.

As part of a team of three electricians, I contributed to the ongoing maintenance of three utility-scale solar farms, helping to ensure strong system uptime, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. I played a key role in resolving major inverter faults and regularly supported HV switching operations, demonstrating sound technical judgement and a proactive approach. I also assisted with a large-scale site fault where we successfully isolated and identified over a thousand underground string cable issues significantly reducing inverter downtime and preventing further infrastructure damage. I consistently step up beyond core duties and take pride in delivering quality outcomes under pressure.
