Manchester, United Kingdom

Managerial Responsibilities: Roles, responsibilities and technical knowledge gainedIn addition to the previous responsibilitiesAs part of my support role I am responsible for line managing an IT support engineer who provides IT support internally at IPEC and externally to clients. My line report's responsibilities include running of the global network of advanced substation PD monitoring systems and providing IT support all IPEC departments. I am responsible for their personal and professional development within IPEC and I provide mentorship based upon my experience of PD detection and data analysis. My role is soon to grow to include the line management of a support test engineer based in the Middle East, and as such my responsibilities will include multi-country and remote line managing.Large engineering project responsibilities:I am currently a project manager (along with a Director of IPEC) of a brand new six figure, 5-year engineering project with Saudi Electric Company (SEC) for a large scale ASM online PD monitoring project.My responsibilities include running PD site surveys with Middle Eastern based contractors to PD survey 250 primary electrical substations and asses the best sites for further ASM online monitoring. As part of this project I am on the board that will choose the final sites for the permanent installations with the condition monitoring team at SEC. As part of this project I will be the primary lead for Support and Data Analysis for SEC's PD monitoring grid projects for the next 5 years. I am also the lead trainer to the engineering staff at SEC, providing on-site PD knowledge and training (see previous sections for training description) over the course of the entire project. In addition, I will be involved in high level meeting/decision-making about the course of the project and future engineering projects, and contribute to the creation of a Middle Eastern IPEC office through which our PD services can continue to grow.

Support Coordinator: Roles, responsibilities and technical knowledge gainedIn addition to the previous responsibilitiesFrom the aforementioned roles, my job role and responsibilities evolved and I hold the position of Support Coordinator; heading up a new department formed at IPEC (IPEC Support). Within this role my responsibilities include being the primary point of contact and facilitator for all client PD data analysis and PD product/knowledge enquiries. IPEC Support handles worldwide client management including frequent worldwide trips to visit High Voltage sites such as the Far East (South Korea, Hong Kong), Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Qatar) and Europe (Germany).Training and the dissemination of PD technical knowledge is a primary component of this Support role and I am involved in development and delivery of all of IPEC’s PD training courses to PD engineers’ worldwide. The PD training courses are designed to teach general PD knowledge, PD system installations, PD data analysis, PD testing and offer solutions to client's PD problems.As part of my role I conduct regular searches to identify the latest research and developments in the field of PD and the engineering community to ensure IPEC is kept abreast of an ever developing field. I facilitate the sharing of this research with the wider IPEC team and this is used to help improve our current and future pipeline technology. Using my acquired PD knowledge and wider physics background I am able to contribute to the development of IPEC products by ensuring that the end user's PD detection needs (collected and collated as part of my support role) are communicated and incorporated into product design considerations from the outset.

My role included working on-site at high voltage electrical substations around the UK and worldwide during which I conduct online electrical testing to detect, verify and locate sources of Partial Discharge (PD) on LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage) assets – 3.3kV up to 300 kV, within switchgear and electrical cable assets.To be able to conduct this PD testing, I received internal on-the-job training as part of my role at IPEC from Senior Field Engineers. From this training, I have acquired expert technical knowledge on how to perform online PD cable mapping, using time-domain reflectometry to accurately identify small discharging sections of cables or cable joints to high precision and accuracy.Using my knowledge of PD detection, I interpreted the technical data acquired from the aforementioned tools/sensors to work with clients to provide 'real-world' PD solutions and recommendations based on test results for remedial action relating to their high value assets.In addition, I have gained technical knowledge of electrical engineering installations by installing permanent online monitoring systems at substations worldwide that are used to detect PD (see http://www.ipec.co.uk/pd-products/asm-e-permanent-pd-monitor/ for more information on the systems). As a key member of the PD monitor installation team I have acquired expert knowledge on the systems and am able to provide remote and on-site maintenance to the systems.The second part of my job role was Lead Data Analyst to IPEC, specializing in the identification of PD signatures in electrically noisy environments. Clients would send PD detection data either raw or from specially designed PD detection tools to me for further analysis. I provided real world data interpretation of PD trends and deep analysis of power cycles (phased resolved PDs: PRPDs) and PD wave shapes.
