What I'm looking for

I’m looking for worldwide site manager or senior commissioning/maintenance roles, leading HV/MV installation, testing, and startup of drives, rectifiers, SF6 switchgear, and heat tracing—ready for rotation and relocation with safety-first delivery.

I’m a Site Manager and Senior Commissioning Engineer with 24+ years of experience in high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems. I specialize in NIDEC Silcovert/SVTH drives, power rectifiers, SF6 switchgear, and nVent Raychem heat tracing systems.

I’ve delivered mega-projects in challenging conditions, including Arctic LNG2, Sakhalin long belt conveyor CURVODUC, Amur Gas Processing Plant, and aluminum smelters in Russia and Egypt. In every assignment, I focus on reliable parameterization, startup, performance verification, and signing test reports with client representatives.

I also bring international exposure from an engineering internship in France (AREVA T&D / Peitamelec) and years of site work coordinating commissioning activities and subcontractors. I’m ready for site manager or senior commissioning and maintenance roles worldwide, including rotation/relocation.
