As a core team member of electrical technicians at Utah Point, I work rotating shifts to ensure efficient and safe plant operations. My responsibilities include acting as the first point of contact for plant breakdowns, performing timely and effective preventive maintenance, and leading projects to upgrade electrical services and enhance plant efficiency, including commissioning of new plant and equipment.

Leading a small team of electrical technicians at the Kareeya Hydro Power Station. I ensure safe, reliable operations and maintenance by providing electrical guidance for planned and corrective works. I leverage my production environment expertise, communicate team expectations effectively, and implement the Sage Surpass EPAS Safe Work System for HV/LV equipment isolations. As the Safe Works Coordinator, I manage planned outages, supervise contractors, and support the engineering team in fault diagnosis and preventative maintenance. Additionally, I am hands-on with technical tasks, including HV maintenance, turbine checks, PLC interrogation, and new equipment installations.

I am an experienced High Voltage Electrical Technician specialising in the maintenance and troubleshooting of Draglines, Coal Handling Prep Plants and Komatsu 930E Electric Dump Trucks. With a strong focus on operational efficiency and safety, I regularly conduct high voltage switching and isolations for shutdowns and reactive maintenance. I leverage my technical expertise to diagnose and resolve complex electrical faults, employing analytical skills to achieve positive outcomes during equipment breakdowns. Additionally, I perform root cause analyses to minimize downtime and mitigate future risks to plant operations.

Experienced in supervising a team of electrical and mechanical operatives for the Canal and River Trust (CRT), overseeing planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, and HV/LV electrical installations and projects. Responsibilities include day-to-day management of service personnel, conducting site audits and inspections, coordinating with regional CRT personnel, and providing technical support as the first point of contact. Conduct site visits to scope planned and project works, assist in problem-solving and contribute to EIC and mechanical expertise during project development.

Operate and maintain a natural gas open cycle gas turbine power plant with six 50 MW Twin-Pac units. Responsible for ensuring plant operations align with Snowy Hydro’s safety standards. Perform installation and maintenance of instrumentation devices, conduct routine PMI inspections on electrical and mechanical assets, and conduct root cause analysis on equipment failures. Skilled in fault finding and maintenance of gas systems and proficient in HV switching up to 500kV. Experienced in creating isolation/restoration switching programs, managing onsite contractors, and maintaining emergency diesel generators.

lead, and direct a team of Electrical Technicians and contractors. I prioritise Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) responsibilities, fostering an incident-free workplace by motivating team members to exceed HSEC targets. I coach the team to consistently achieve production and productivity goals and supervise both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities to ensure compliance with plant systems. Effective communication of technical issues and collaboration with maintenance planners and contract managers are integral to my role. I also lead in upgrading technical systems and oversee comprehensive stock control using Sap Management System. Additionally, I ensure ongoing training, workplace procedure adherence, and conduct toolbox talks emphasising safety and team cohesion.

I execute maintenance of underground electrical equipment, calibrate instrumentation devices including flow, level, and pressure sensors, conduct daily PMI inspections, perform HV/LV isolations, manage shutdown maintenance on conveyer belts with 3.3kv CST drives, Code C hazardous areas inspections, install and commission conveyor systems, coordinate the introduction of electrical hazardous areas equipment, and validate explosive-protected electrical equipment for approval.
