What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in plant electrical maintenance or commissioning within safety-focused teams, offering growth and responsibility.

I am an experienced electrical service technician with over 10 years working across power plants, oil & gas, and industrial facilities in India, the Middle East and Africa. I specialize in pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up/shutdown, operations, and maintenance of electrical and allied plant equipment.

I have led teams in troubleshooting, preventive and corrective maintenance, HV/LV switching, transformer and motor overhauls, SCADA/DCS monitoring and safety compliance, delivering sustained operational availability and safety improvements. I have hands-on experience with up to 33 kV systems, SF6/Vacuum/Air/Oil circuit breakers, UPS systems, VSDs and high-power motors and transformers.

My career highlights include commissioning and operation oversight for boilers, turbines, HVAC, nitrogen systems, and welding line equipment, implementing Kaizen initiatives, and maintaining rigorous reporting and permit-to-work practices to ensure reliable, safe plant performance.
