Project Engineer

• Mar 2019 - Sep 2020

•Implemented process and production improvements in compliance with North Sails industrial standards.•Took point on high-value machinery and equipment designing.•Maintained and implemented project and maintenance procurement policies with regard to ownership of the organization.•Set up project and maintenance budget, and validate contractors.•Lead the team in inventing the new 2Di sail product for North Sails.1. In the initial stage, R&D was done to check the material strength of the product with respect to process temperature, speed, and pressure.2. After determining the optimum parameters, machine concepts were created to meet the company's budget, time to deliver, human ergonomics, production speed, and simplicity.3. After concluding the concept, the design was created using Solidworks and sent for machine fabrication outside. Tolerance and quality of work were monitored during the fabrication part.4. After assembling the machine trial products were created and thus machine optimization was done simultaneously. 5. SOP for the new product was created and personnel was trained to carry out the tasks of the new product.•Designed and installed tether winding machine for southern spars (Increased the production efficiency by 180%).1. The initial concept for the product was given to the company by a subsidiary of North Sails. 2. The task was to create a more reliable and automated machine. 3. The machine was integrated with proximity sensors, servo motor, HMI, and a PLC.4. The machine was able to deliver the product with 180% efficiency with zero downtime and intervention.• Other projects carried out at North Sails are material elevators, Instaling and commissioning of a laser plotter, installing and commissioning of an overhead gantry, installed new machinery to optimize production outputs, and supervised high-value machine maintenances.

Maintenance Engineer

• Feb 2018 - Mar 2019

•Trained and managed maintenance personnel and subcontractors.•Maintained and modified local machinery and conferred with other foreign and domestic engineers to implement smooth operating procedures.•Tracked and analyzed maintenance KPI of machinery.•Set up preventive and predictive maintenance for the factory.•Maintained factory machinery, fire safety systems, generators, compressors, HVAC, general maintenance, and electrical and water grids in the factory premises.•Ensured engineering activities in compliance with health and safety legislation.•Troubleshooting of the laminating machine.1. A temperature deviation occurred in the laminating drum which was due to a blockage in the path of the thermal liquid inside it.2. Different methods and consultants were used to rectify the issue with no success, and finally using a hydraulic pump, the blockage was removed by carefully increasing pressure. 3. By adopting the 5 whys method, the root cause was determined to be a poor practice of the maintenance staff and machine operators. 4. An SOP and a strict PM were created. Show less
