What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an electrician/electrical technician role where I can demonstrate my skills and critical thinking, handle HV/LV installation and maintenance, and take care of inventory—while delivering reliable, customer-focused electrical support.

I’m an outgoing, charismatic, and highly skilled electrical technician with hands-on experience across HV transmission lines, stepdown transformers, and substation construction (66Kv/33Kv). I’ve carried out electrical repairs and maintenance in demanding public environments, handling systems such as corridors, guest rooms, elevators, UPS’s, automatic doors, and PA system equipment.

Across my roles, I’ve focused on being prepared and reliable—making sure materials, tools, and fixtures were ready before going to site, supporting inventory, and maintaining strong customer service standards. I’m also experienced in telecommunications installation work, including signal/microwave antenna alignment, proper tower grounding, network equipment setup (internet/router configuration), fiber splicing, and CCTV/DSTV-related installations.
