03.2017 - 12.2022
- Execution of Heavy Structures: Led the fabrication and erection of heavy structural steel for the Boiler second pass, TG Building (Main Plant), and high-rise structures, ensuring precision in alignment and verticality.
- Balance of Plant (BOP) Infrastructure: Supervised structural works for the Coal Handling Plant (CHP), including conveyor galleries and trestles, and the Ash Handling Plant (AHP), focusing on durability in abrasive environments.
- FGD Implementation: Managed the structural installation of the Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) unit, including duct supports and absorber building steelwork, in compliance with updated environmental norms.
- Technical Drawing & Design Coordination: Collaborated closely with the design department to review GA (General Arrangement) and Fabrication drawings, resolving site-level clashes and issuing Request for Information (RFIs) to prevent delays.
- Quality Control (QA/QC): Conducted rigorous inspections including NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) coordination, bolt torque testing, and weld visual inspections (per AWS/IS codes) for critical load-bearing joints.
- Material Management & Reconciliation: Optimized steel consumption by managing inventory for various sections (Beams, Channels, Plates) and performing periodic material reconciliation to minimize wastage.
- Erection Methodology: Developed and reviewed Method Statements and Job Safety Analyses (JSA) for heavy lifts, including the tandem lifting of heavy girders and roof trusses.
- Vendor & Contractor Management: Monitored contractor progress against the Level-3 (L3) Schedule, identifying bottlenecks and implementing recovery plans to meet project milestones.
- Safety Compliance: Enforced strict industrial safety standards (EHS) for working at heights, ensuring 100% compliance with lifeline installations and PPE usage for the workforce.
Assistant Engineer
Doosan Enerbilty
02.2015 - 02.2016
- Incoming Material Inspection (IMIR): Conducted primary physical inspections of all incoming mechanical components, boiler pressure parts, and structural steel (Beams, Channels, Plates) to verify quantity and identify any transit damage.
- Joint Inspection with Client: Coordinated and led Joint Receipt Inspections (JRI) with client representatives and consultants to ensure materials met the specific project technical requirements and "Approved Vendor List" (AVL) criteria.
- MTC Verification: Thoroughly reviewed Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and Manufacturer’s Test Reports against project specifications (e.g., IS 2062 for structural steel, ASTM/ASME for boiler parts) to ensure chemical and mechanical property compliance.
- Traceability Management: Implemented heat-number-wise color coding and marking systems for raw steel plates and sections to maintain 100% traceability from the storage yard to the fabrication shop.
- Non-Conformity Reporting (NCR): Identified and documented discrepancies in material quality or documentation, raising Non-Conformance Reports and coordinating with the procurement team for replacements or rectifications.
- Storage & Preservation: Supervised the systematic stacking of structural members and mechanical equipment, ensuring proper "first-in-first-out" (FIFO) flow and implementing preservation measures (oiling/greasing/tarping) to prevent corrosion.
- Inventory Documentation: Maintained the Material Receipt Voucher (MRV) system and updated the Daily Receipt Reports (DRR) to provide the planning department with accurate data on material availability.
- Liaison with Stores & Fabrication: Collaborated with the site fabrication team to issue materials based on the Bill of Materials (BOM), ensuring that only cleared and "OK-tested" materials reached the production line.
