Introduction

In today’s fast-changing world of energy, the role of an Electrical Power Engineer is more important than ever. From managing large grid stations to implementing solar systems, these engineers ensure our homes, industries, and cities stay powered efficiently and sustainably. Whether you're maintaining a 132kV grid station or automating an industrial process using PLCs, this career demands a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience.

1. Strong Understanding of Power Systems

Power systems are the backbone of electrical engineering. As a fresh graduate from UET Mardan, your training in power generation, transmission, and distribution builds your core foundation. Through your internship at the 132kV Grid Station in Balakot, you’ve gained real-time exposure to:

• Grid station operations

• Protection systems

• Equipment testing and maintenance

These experiences help bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world practice.

2. Renewable Energy Awareness

With the growing demand for sustainable solutions, every modern electrical engineer must understand solar technologies. Your work with G4E Solar Company exposed you to:

• Solar panel installation

• Inverter and battery configurations

• Load calculations and site surveys

This hands-on solar experience adds strong value to your resume, especially in today’s renewable-focused market.

3. Automation and Control Using PLC

Your Final Year Project (FYP) on Automated Sorting of Industrial Materials Using PLC Technology showcased several important technical skills:

• PLC programming and logic design

• Integration of sensors and actuators

• Process automation

• Technical documentation and planning

This is critical in industrial automation, where engineers create systems that minimize human error and maximize efficiency.

4. Proficiency in Engineering Software

In today’s digital world, software skills are not optional. You’ve developed practical knowledge in:

• MATLAB – For simulations and analysis

• Multisim – For circuit testing and design

• AutoCAD – For technical drawings and schematics

• MS Office – For documentation and presentations

Software proficiency complements your theoretical knowledge and helps you communicate your ideas clearly.

5. Communication & Teamwork

From working at RMS Global as a Call Centre Agent, you've enhanced your:

• Verbal and written communication

• Customer interaction and professionalism

• Team collaboration

These soft skills are essential, especially when working with multidisciplinary engineering teams or interacting with clients.
