Electrical systems maintenance and repair electrician with project experience improving reliability, safety, and throughput.
What I'm looking for
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%.
