What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue delivering HVDC, HVAC, and BESS substation designs, collaborating with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams on major power-system projects.

I've delivered primary substation designs for GE Vernova projects including OstWind 4, TenneT offshore wind converter platforms, BalWin4, Shin Bupyeong for KEPCO, SSEN tenders, and National Grid's IFA Recovery.

I create 3D and 2D HVDC and HVAC substation designs using Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Inventor, and Autodesk Construction Cloud. My work includes high-voltage equipment layouts, elevations, single-line diagrams, civil guidance drawings, cable routing, and coordination with clients and contractors.

I've also designed BESS substations and primary equipment for Enbi Power, covering switchyards, control rooms, earthing systems, transformers, busbars, lighting calculations, short-circuit calculations, and equipment FAT.
