Installation supervision, quality control, testing, and commissioning
Troubleshooting, fault analysis, and corrective engineering
System upgrades, retrofits, and performance optimisation
Technical proposals, project planning, and engineering reviews
Working with fellow engineers, technicians, contractors, suppliers, and clients throughout project delivery
Supporting the development of increasingly complex power projects, including mini-grids and larger grid-connected infrastructure
