As a Project Scientific Assistant (Electrical) in the Estate and Maintenance Department at the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), Chennai, I was responsible for overseeing the electrical infrastructure and ensuring uninterrupted power supply across the institute. My role involved the routine inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting of LT and HT electrical systems, including transformers, DG sets, UPS systems, and solar power installations. I coordinated with contractors and vendors for AMC services, monitored energy consumption, and supported initiatives for energy efficiency. I also played a key role in the planning and execution of electrical works in civil and laboratory infrastructure projects, including new building electrification and load management. Ensuring adherence to electrical safety standards, statutory compliance, and documentation were essential aspects of my duties, contributing to the smooth functioning of the institute’s critical research facilities.

As a Laboratory Assistant in the Department of Electrical Engineering at RGUKT Basar, I actively support both the academic and operational infrastructure of the Power Systems Laboratory and campus-wide electrical maintenance. In the Power Systems Lab, I assist faculty and students in conducting experiments related to power generation, transmission, distribution, and system protection. My responsibilities include preparing lab setups, calibrating instruments like relays, circuit breakers, and measuring devices, ensuring equipment safety, and helping students understand practical aspects of power system operations. Alongside academic duties, I also contribute to the electrical maintenance of the campus, handling tasks such as routine inspection, troubleshooting faults in lighting and power circuits, maintaining distribution boards, ensuring backup power readiness (UPS and DG sets), and coordinating with the engineering section for infrastructure upgrades. My role ensures uninterrupted lab functionality and electrical reliability across campus facilities.

At VR Engineering and Services, Chennai, I worked as a Supervisor overseeing a broad range of electrical and facility management operations. My responsibilities included installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of 11KV substations, HT/LT panels, transformers, circuit breakers, UPS systems, and DG sets. I was also actively involved in the maintenance of HVAC systems, chillers, pumps, and lift systems, ensuring optimal performance and minimal downtime. In addition, I supervised electrical works on-site, coordinated with technicians, and ensured the smooth and timely execution of all technical tasks while maintaining strict adherence to safety and quality standards.
