Projects

• Power station projects with renewable sources for Wonmunna and Kens Bore iron ore mines, and MinRes Onslow port.
• Grid connection project at Mt. Marion Lithium Mine.
• Diesel storage, transfer, and bunkering system project at Onslow Port.

Project Engineering Experience

• Drafted scope of work and project schedules.
• Ran weekly and monthly progress meetings with vendors and contractors.
• Carried out cost optioneering and CAPEX estimation for a power station.
• Used HOMER software to optimize the size of renewable energy sources.
• Coordinated with contractors and vendors at various project stages to ensure the successful delivery of BESS, solar, and transformer packages.

Design Experience

• Conducted power system, stability, protection, earthing, and arc flash analyses according to Australian Standards (AS3000, AS3851, AS3008, IEEE1584).
• Carried out cable, circuit breaker, motor, and transformer sizing.
• Documented results in electrical reports and HV submissions.
• Reviewed vendor electrical drawings.
• Carried out factory acceptance tests for switchrooms, including protection relay functional testing, and controller logic testing.

Modeling and Scripting Experience

• Developed power system models on SKM Power Tools and DIgSILENT PowerFactory to perform short-circuit and power system stability analyses.
• Developed earthing models on SKM GroundMat to formulate a cost-effective earthing design.
• Developed an arc flash calculator using the DigSILENT Programming Language (DPL) that accounts for various trip times and decaying short-circuit currents.
• Programmed HV protection relays, generator controllers, and PLCs (e.g., Emerson and Red Lion).
• Developed a power station cost estimation spreadsheet using Excel VBA for optioneering.

Site Commissioning Experience

• Prepared commissioning test plans and procedures.
• Ran daily prestart meetings and coordinated site commissioning tasks.
• Reviewed construction ITRs to ensure conformity to IFC drawings and compliance with Australian standards.
• Configured field instruments conducted loop testing.
• Troubleshooting issues under pressure, and reporting to stakeholders.

• Conducted studies by developing experiments that met project goals.
• Conveyed findings effectively to supervisor.
• Analyzed research data with suitable statistical and computational methods, drawing accurate conclusions.
• Consolidated experimental data and authored academic papers.

• Delivered lectures in core electrical engineering units, including Electrical Systems, Electronics Fundamentals, and Signals and Systems.
• Explained course concepts, theories, and ideas in an easy-to-understand manner.
• Organized and oversaw hands-on lab exercises.
• Assessed academic submissions.
