Work History
Technical Support Intern
3 Months- Gained practical competencies in handling Electrical Building Management (EBM) distribution boards and industrial range panels to enhance technical support skills.
- Completed three-month internship to develop practical experience in technical support and applications.
- Assisted client teams with technical drafting, generating quotations, and arranging structural samples in corporate showroom to support product demonstrations.
- Supported senior engineers in deploying technical product seminars and executing presentations for large industrial design partners including the Archetype Group.
Technical Awareness Intern
1 Month- Verified parameters of control room hardware installations, including Protective Relays, SCADA infrastructure, battery backups, digital metering, and Bay Control Units (BCU).
- Tracked utility-scale workflows for high-voltage electricity generation, transmission, and dynamic distribution across local grid.
- Inspected structural components within high-voltage outdoor yards, including Transformers, Voltage Transformers (VT), Current Transformers (CT), Circuit Breakers (CB), Busbars, Bus-couplers, Capacitors, and Reactors.
- Completed a practical grid rotation for a duration of 2 weeks, equivalent to 2 months of experience.
Energy Auditor Assistant
3 Months- Deployed data loggers to capture real-time energy baselines from automated transfer switch (ATS) networks, identifying specific areas of inefficiency and power loss.
- Compiled diagnostic assessments and verified compliance metrics while organising site-survey checklists, facilitating the identification and elimination of industrial energy waste.
- Collaborated with lead energy auditors to perform field inspections and industrial audits for key regional clients (Kiririm Food Production, MISOTA, and AMRU RICE).
- Completed a short-term project over three months, focusing on specific goals and deliverables.
