At Wood, your expert trainer has served as the Electrical Department Manager in the multi-disciplined engineering consulting firm. In this role, he efficiently managed the engineering team and oversaw electrical operations. He was responsible for tasks such as cost estimations, scheduling, staffing allocation for optimal project delivery, and ensuring on-time project completion while managing project budgets, schedules, and design progress.

Your expert trainer actively contributed to business development by identifying new opportunities and meeting potential clients. He also played a pivotal role in project planning and direction, conducting risk assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and overseeing the establishment of milestones and final deliverables. Additionally, he continued to act as a project manager for smaller to medium-scale projects, maintaining involvement as a senior electrical engineer, addressing various design deliverables, and preparing proposals for diverse project types and sizes.

Your expert trainer collaborated with other disciplines such as civil, structural, and mechanical, monitored project execution through all phases, and communicated project progress against the plan, requirements, quality measures, and standard processes. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, he demonstrated expertise in leading electrical design for utility-scale solar (8.32kV-600V), wind farms, BESS facilities (up to 345kV), and various industrial and commercial projects. His responsibilities encompassed conceptual design, engineering design across different voltage levels, substation design (8.32kV-600V), outdoor substation design for solar farms (25kV-345kV), protection and control design, proposal preparation, work coordination, system analysis, cable ampacity studies, engineering calculations, construction supervision, site inspection, mentoring, and technical report writing.

At JF Edwards, Milligan 3, US, he played a crucial role in the protection and control design of a 138kV substation for a substantial 300MW wind farm project. Similarly, at JF Edwards, Walnut Ridge, US, he was involved in the protection and control design of another 138kV substation for a 300MW wind farm project. Moving to Samsung Pattern, Belle River, Ontario, he led the detailed engineering of a 100MW wind farm project, overseeing the installation of forty 3.2MW turbines, a 34.5kV collector system, a 34.5kV/230kV substation, an 8km-long 230kV underground transmission line, and a 230kV switching station. At Northland Power Inc., McLean’s Mountain, Ontario, he also led and managed a substantial 138kV-rated submarine cable replacement project for an existing 60MW wind farm. Additionally, at Northland Power Inc., Grand Bend, Ontario, he took on the role of leading the detailed engineering of another impressive 100MW wind farm project, which involved forty 2.5MW turbines, a 34.5kV collector system, a 34.5kV/230kV substation, a 31.5km-long 230kV underground transmission line, and a 230kV switching station.

Your expert trainer worked at IBI Group as an Electrical Engineer and later as an Electrical Inspector. In these roles, he contributed to the design of electrical systems across various sectors, performed engineering designs, conducted system analysis and studies, and played a crucial role in construction site inspection and electrical inspection for airport lighting systems. Additionally, he has been an instructor at EPIC Educational since 2013, teaching courses on solar and wind energy, covering topics such as AC/DC/BESS design, MV/HV protection & control, code & local authorities, substation design, commissioning requirements, and installation constraints during construction.

To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized “One to One” coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers. They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help you achieve your goals faster.
