Vocational School Teacher – Industrial Electrical Training
As a certified trainer with the Tehran Education Department, I served as a formal vocational school teacher at the Official Education Centers of Tehran. My responsibilities included providing industrial electrical training in the use of electrical equipment, motor repair and troubleshooting, switchboard instrumentation, and the design and installation of lighting systems for both commercial and residential buildings. I developed and delivered hands-on training programs that equipped students with practical skills aligned with industry needs.


Projects Undertaken
In addition to teaching, I successfully completed several industrial electrical projects. These included the design and installation of an industrial switchboard, the creation of multiple grounding systems for a large carpet store, and the installation and commissioning of a 30 km-long street lighting system. These projects demonstrate both my technical expertise and my ability to apply electrical engineering principles in real-world applications.
