National Grid System Design Authorised PSE. Proven competence and ability to perform and interpret results from a range of PS studies including; load flow (thermal, voltage), dynamic voltage, fault level and iGR (ground return current). Have a good understanding of stability and NPS (negative phase sequence) studies and results interpretation. 2 years of.

Legal Separation Programme Analyst - UK Regulation (3rd Placement)Focused on identifying cross functional processes between National Grid's Electricity Transmission Owner (ETO) and Electricity System Operator (ESO) from an operational perspective. Responsible for defining and agreeing these operational processes through coordination of and negotiation.

As part of the System Design team at Juwi my role ranged from creating conceptual plans for solar projects right through to detailed design of solar farms and roof top systems. This utilised a variety of electrical and mechanical engineering skills and the design were drawn in AutoCAD.

University Of Warwick

Warwick Jailbreak is an annually run charity event where the aim is for your team to get as far away from Warwick University Campus as possible in 36 hours. Sound easy? Well there’s a catch. You cannot spend a penny of your own money throughout the 36 hours. Having participated in both my first and second years, and reaching Brussels and Amsterdam.

Undertook a project to improve the refurbishment process of substation components. This required investigating an existing failing process across all key departments at National Grid.Arranged for my 3rd year dissertation to be run in partnership with National Grid. This project involved creating a model that could analyse the wind load, ice load, dead load.
