What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can maintain and troubleshoot electrical systems, lead preventive maintenance improvements, and work safely with teams and vendors to reduce downtime, meet standards, and raise system reliability and efficiency.

I’m an Electrical Engineering graduate with in-depth knowledge of building and maintenance of electrical machine and power system. I design and support electrical systems that meet customer specifications and industry regulations, with a strong focus on safety and reliability.

As an Electrician with Benin Electrical Distribution Company (BEDC), I installed, maintained, and repaired electrical systems across commercial and residential properties. I diagnose and troubleshoot electrical issues, recommend repairs or replacements, perform routine maintenance, and communicate with clients to understand needs and provide estimates.

Previously at Will of God Electricals Nigeria Limited, I worked as a Factory Electrician supporting manufacturing reliability. I led a project to upgrade production line machinery, achieving a 20% increase in throughput, and implemented preventive maintenance schedules that reduced equipment downtime by 15%.

Earlier, as a Maintenance Engineer at Best Western Meloch Hotel, I carried out routine inspections, resolved equipment malfunctions to minimize downtime, and coordinated maintenance schedules to avoid disrupting operations. I also implemented preventive maintenance that reduced breakdowns by 25% and upgraded facility lighting to energy-efficient LEDs, cutting energy costs by 30%.
