Project history
Founded and leads an electrical and automation engineering company serving EPC contractors and plant builders globally in the water, wastewater, and waste-to-energy sectors. Delivers the full electrical and automation scope as a specialised subcontractor: panel manufacturing (MCC, LV/MV switchgear), PLC and SCADA/HMI programming, and network/communication design. Manages on-site installation and commissioning across international sites under a no borders delivery model, coordinating engineering, procurement, and field teams.
Designed control and automation systems for industrial and infrastructure plants, including electrical schematics, panel layouts, and I/O architecture using EPLAN Electric P8 and AutoCAD. Developed and tested PLC and SCADA/HMI applications on Siemens TIA Portal (S7) and Beckhoff TwinCAT / EtherCAT platforms. Led on-site commissioning and field troubleshooting, bringing plants from installation through to stable, verified operation.
Supported panel design, wiring, and testing while completing engineering studies; gained hands-on experience across the electrical and automation workflow.
