What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role in a safety-focused, improvement-driven company where I can lead maintenance, optimize energy use, and mentor teams.

I am a First Class (Distinction) Industrial Electrical Engineering graduate with over six years of hands-on experience in utilities, plant technology, maintenance, and energy management. I have led energy and water monitoring programs, implemented steam trap and condensate recovery optimizations, and delivered measurable cost reductions through targeted maintenance interventions.

I excel at electrical troubleshooting, preventive and corrective maintenance, equipment condition monitoring, and team development, having trained technicians, reviewed SOPs, and coordinated contractors to ensure safe, reliable plant operations. My work has restored automatic wastewater operations, reduced operational costs, and ensured zero downtime through proactive risk assessments and continuous improvement.
