Handled basic administrative tasks, including completing daily activity logs, incident reports, attendance records, and participant documentation.

Conducted solar PV system sizing and yield estimation for residential systems (up to 5 kW), improving proposal accuracy and reducing cost variance by 12%. Supported installation activities including panel mounting, cabling, termination, testing, and commissioning to ensure timely delivery. Developed AutoCAD layouts and single-line diagrams, enabling faster client approvals. Managed end-to-end client communication, addressing technical queries and providing solutions. Prepared technical proposals, cost estimates, and BOMs to support competitive submissions. Assisted procurement processes including RFQs, technical evaluation, and material tracking. Coordinated with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth project execution and delivery. Identified and escalated technical and schedule risks to senior engineers and project managers.

In this role, I was involved in the execution of electrical and instrumentation works for a 1200 MW combined cycle power plant project, gaining strong hands-on experience in large-scale energy infrastructure. My key responsibilities included: Supporting the installation and commissioning of major electrical components such as transformers, busbars, and isolated phase busducts (IPB), ensuring work was completed in line with project timelines. Assisting with site activities including cable tray routing, cable laying and termination, and performing insulation resistance testing using a megger to ensure system reliability and safety. Working with instrumentation systems, including basic calibration activities, understanding P&ID drawings, and following standard installation procedures. Participating in equipment installation and punch-list clearance, contributing to smooth system handover and project completion. Preparing and updating AutoCAD layout drawings, including 2D modifications for offshore structural and electrical systems, which helped improve documentation accuracy and reduced revision turnaround time.

Completed a student internship at the 220 kV KSEB substation, gaining introductory exposure to high-voltage power system operations. Observed substation equipment including transformers, circuit breakers, isolators and protection panels. Learned the basics of grid operations, safety practices, switching procedures and power distribution. Developed foundational understanding of how large-scale substations support grid reliability and power flow. Observed key components such as power transformers, Vacuum circuit breakers, busbars, protection relays and control room operations. Learned about safety protocols including LOTO, earthing practices, and procedures followed during switching and maintenance activities. Gained an understanding of power transmission, load flow, fault handling and real-time monitoring in a live substation environment.
