• Performed scheduled maintenance and preventative repairs on all electrical power systems, mainly distribution transformers. Improved distribution system reliability indices.
• Leaded all activities related to supervising personnel engaged in live-line woking (maintenance of electrical equipment while it is energized) to repair, replace and install high voltage structures and distribution transformer. Supervised 15 electrical lineman.
• Performed and supervised routine tests to distribution transformers and equipment, both to spot potential problems and to ensure that systems are operating at their highest possible levels of functionality.
• Initiates and carries out projects to improve efficiency and/or reduce operating costs in distribution transformers, analyzed power quality data in distribution transformer to improve service quality to final users.
• Performed the update of technical and geographic information of the operator's distribution transformers (ArcGIS software).
• Managed and directed technical team, finishing projects before deadline and with annual budget by $500k for maintenance and installation of high voltage structures.

Diagnosed power quality problems and performed measurements of sags, swells, voltage transients, harmonic distortion and voltage flicker.

• Performed load-flow and fault analysis using software to determine voltage magnitudes, voltage phase angles, active power, and reactive power of electrical system in steady-state operation. (Cymdist - ETAP - DigSILENT PowerFactory)
• Estimated impact of consumption on energy losses and their costs, which allows us to quantify potential energy loss reductions and potential savings due to lower levels of grid congestion.
• Developed electric technical losses estimation in power distribution system to improve operation conditions and increase economy income of company, improving distribution system reliability indices by 10%.
• Developed electric distribution system planning to forecast, analysis and get solutions for maintenance and development of utility grid. (ArcGIS - AutoCAD)

Created wiring and layout diagrams used by workers who erect, install electrical equipment electrical distribution systems. (Autocad)

• Prepared work orders and cost estimates, including personnel, material, and supply items for construction and maintenance projects.
• Performed various types of simulations involved in electric distribution system planning (load flow, fault analysis, load balancing, optimal devices placement) using specialized software. (Cymdist - PowerFactory)
• Analyzed and documented test results to comply with industry standards.
• Developed electric distribution system planning to forecast, analysis and get solutions for maintenance and development of utility grid. (ArcGIS)
