SUPRIT PRADHAN
Summary
Highly accomplished and results-oriented professional with a strong foundation in Electrical Engineering. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and a Master's in Electrical Power Engineering, providing a comprehensive understanding of electrical systems from microelectronics to large-scale power networks. My experience at hydropower for more than 8 years as an Electrical Engineer honed my practical expertise in the field, from operations to testing and maintenance functions. I possess proven electrical design skills, which I have extensively applied to design and simulate Bhutan's power system network. This crucial work involved conducting in-depth load flow and transient fault studies, directly contributing to the stability and efficiency of the national grid. Beyond my technical prowess, I am a fast learner with demonstrated IT, programming, troubleshooting and leadership skills. This was particularly evident when I stepped into the role of Project Manager for Bhutan's National Digital Identity project in 2020. I successfully spearheaded and completed this complex initiative, currently delivering substantial benefits to the citizens of Bhutan. Professional manager with significant expertise in overseeing complex projects and ensuring timely delivery. Skilled in strategic planning, budget management, and risk assessment. Strong focus on team collaboration, fostering results-driven environment, and adapting to changing needs. Known for reliability, leadership, and effective communication.
Permanent Residency Granted on February 2025 through the 189 Skill Independent VISA.
