Professional experience
UHP Technologies, India, Graduate Project Engineer June 2015 – April 2016
- Managed the 4 M’s (Manpower, Machine, Material and Money) at different phases of the project
- Executed projects having client requirement of 25+ toxic and non-toxic gas lines for manufacturing and research units
- Worked in class 1000 clean rooms for the Research and development (R&D) facility for Solar cells
- Developed and applied strategies for improving energy efficiency and lowering costs, such as incorporating new energy-saving technology, minimizing unnecessary energy consumption
- Conducted field visits to assist with site walkthrough assessments and collect detailed information
- Worked closely with Vendors/ third-party service providers and handled necessary procurement at site
- Assisted with identifying and evaluating energy efficiency measures and calculated the savings potential of measures
- Created assessment reports and formal documentation including memorandums
- Prepared the project schedule using MS Project for an 80 million project and implemented the work considering deadlines
- Developed visualization of the project site using AutoCAD and established stringent operations budget
- Created documentation of maintenance plan, risk assessment checklist and emergency response plan for TGM (Total Gas Management) system for Inert, Hydrocarbon, Flammable and Toxic gases
Steel Authority of India (SAIL), India, Intern May 2014 – July 2014
- Project study – Thermodynamics of Heat recovery coke oven in steel manufacturing industry
