Summary
Graduate EICA Engineer with experience working on water sector projects, supporting design from concept through to outline stages. I’ve produced key deliverables including SLDs, BCDs, load and instrument schedules, and power assessments. I’ve developed a solid understanding of control systems, including VSDs, motor control, and PLC fundamentals, and I’m keen to continue developing my skills in a control systems or EICA design role.

- Developed instrument and valve schedules for accurate specification and seamless integration of field devices.
- Produced load schedules to facilitate electrical sizing and validate overall design integrity.
- Created Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) for water and wastewater projects.
- Developed Block Cable Diagrams (BCDs) to show control and power connections clearly.
- Contributed to MCC kiosk and panel designs, including general layouts and equipment selection.
- Specified panel types, including IP-rated enclosures (e.g. Type 4 panels) depending on environmental and site conditions.
- Prepared Power Assessment Summaries to check system capacity and performance.
- Worked across different project stages including concept, outline design, and optioneering, supporting development of practical and efficient design solutions.
- Used CEDAR (or similar client documentation systems) for managing and submitting design deliverables.
- Built a good understanding of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) and how they’re used in pump control and improving efficiency.
- Familiar with different motor starters (DOL, star-delta, soft starters) and where they’re typically applied.
- Developed an understanding of pump systems, how they operate, and how they’re controlled.
- Experienced with a range of instrumentation (flow, level, pressure, etc.) used in the water industry.
- Gained basic knowledge of PLCs, including how they work, control logic basics, and how they interface with field equipment and SCADA.
- Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to ensure designs aligned with project requirements.
- Worked to ensure designs meet relevant standards and client specifications.
