About Oleksiy Gordiyenko

I am a Senior Field Service Engineer at ABB, where I focus on the reliability and safety of Parallel Switchgear (PSG) and complex power distribution systems. My work ensures critical infrastructure remains online and operates at peak performance.With extensive hands-on experience in electrical and control systems, I lead commissioning, diagnostic testing, troubleshooting, and system optimization. I support high-demand environments where downtime is not an option—specifically data centers, hospitals, utility applications, and large-scale industrial facilities. I enjoy the challenge of real-time problem-solving in the field and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable technical outcomes.My career path is unique. Before specializing in power systems in the U.S, I spent 11 years as a Project Manager on major construction and engineering projects. Managing teams of 70+ people from concept through commissioning gave me a strong foundation in system integration and execution discipline—skills I now apply to every technical engagement at ABB.I am committed to continuous improvement in both systems and processes. Whether supporting junior engineers, applying lean principles, or implementing digital solutions, my focus is on delivering long-term value to the infrastructure I support. I’m always open to connecting with professionals in power distribution, switchgear, and critical infrastructure.
