Led L1–L3 commissioning of mission-critical data center systems, supporting L4 Integrated System Testing (IST) and L5 turnover validations. Prepared, reviewed, and executed L2/L3/L4 commissioning scripts, ensuring zero-defect project handover. Commissioned and validated UPS systems, diesel generators (DG), LV/MV switchgear, transformers, bus ducts, and auxiliary systems, while conducting functional performance testing, black building testing, and failover simulations. Integrated and validated BMS, EPMS, and DCIM systems, including alarm mapping, data trending, and interlock verification. Collaborated closely with clients, consultants, and vendors to perform site walkdowns, punch point closure, and final documentation, ensuring compliance with IEC, IEEE, ASHRAE, NFPA, and client standards. Key achievements include successfully delivering multiple L3 commissioning projects ahead of schedule and reducing punch closure time by 20% through optimized workflows.
Assisted in the planning and execution of MV/LV commissioning projects, including conducting FAT, SAT, and site testing for transformers, switchgear, and protection systems. Validated SLDs, as-built drawings, BOQs, and GADs in line with client requirements and project specifications. Led QA/QC activities to ensure compliance with IEC, IS, and CEIG standards, while also performing retrofit and upgrade of circuit breakers and numerical protection relays. Prepared daily progress reports, MOMs, and test documentation to support effective project tracking and stakeholder communication. Additionally, contributed to improving project efficiency by streamlining documentation processes and mentored junior engineers to enhance team productivity and testing quality.
Executed installation, testing, and commissioning of transformers (up to 220kV, 100MVA), MV/LV switchgear, and protection panels across industrial and utility projects. Performed high-voltage testing for cables and circuit breakers and conducted SATs for solar power plants (5–200MW). Provided commissioning support for power generating stations, transmission lines, and distribution networks, while configuring and testing IEDs and numerical relays (ABB, Siemens, SEL, GE). Carried out annual maintenance and preventive testing for power plants, data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities. Key achievements include successfully commissioning multiple large-scale power and solar projects, ensuring compliance and system reliability, and improving testing efficiency by developing standardized checklists and procedures for recurring tasks.
Performed engineering calculations, sizing, and selection of switchgear, transformers, panels, and protection systems, while drafting, reviewing, and validating 2D electrical drawings and SLDs. Assisted in the installation of LV/MV switchgear, SCADA/PLC control centers, UPS, DGs, and battery systems, and supported commissioning and testing of MCC/PCC, transformer control panels, and relay panels. This role provided hands-on experience in installation, testing, and validation of power systems across a range of industrial and commercial projects, building a strong foundation in both electrical design and field execution.
