WORK HISTORY
Local System Planning Engineer @Northern Powergrid
Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB
I work collaboratively with my engineering team to analyze local distribution network performance data using advanced forecasting and simulation tools—ensuring our shared insights directly inform strategic decisions for network reinforcement and optimization.In partnership with colleagues, I develop and refine comprehensive system planning models that accurately forecast network loads and identify potential stress points, allowing our team to proactively address evolving demand and infrastructure changes.I actively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—including internal engineers, technicians, external contractors, and local community representatives—to coordinate planning initiatives. This teamwork ensures that each project is aligned with operational requirements, community needs, and collective objectives.I support stakeholders with Low Carbon technologies projects by providing technical insights and inputs to them and their consultants, and by collaborating internally with the HV & EHV design engineers to support stakeholder project delivery.In a team environment, I manage multiple planning projects concurrently by jointly preparing comprehensive technical reports, detailed presentations, and thorough documentation—supporting strategic decision-making and successful regulatory submissions.I work closely with my team to leverage modern IT systems, enhancing data management and streamlining communication to ensure the seamless exchange of critical project information across all planning activities.I champion proactive risk management by partnering with colleagues to conduct comprehensive risk assessments and collaboratively implement safety planning measures—ensuring potential issues are identified early and effectively mitigated to preserve network integrity and operational efficiency.
