Twenty Two years of experience in the HV substations and power plants.

In 1994, during the rehabilitation phase of the Lebanese High Voltage 66kV and 150kV Networks, I started my career with Matelecgroup as a junior design engineer in the design department. However, later in thesame year, I also did the factory testing, site testing and commissioning of many rehabilitated substations in the Lebanese network.

Between 1997 and 1999, beside the design work in the office, I had also the opportunity to work as a site engineer performing the execution, testing and commissioning of 220kV substations (Five GIS: BCD, Aramoun, Pin, Ras Beyrut and Mkalles & One AIS: Deir Nbouh).

During these years that I passed shifting between design and execution, I attended training courses in Relays programming & setting commissioning, MV switchgear Installation, Equipment testing and HV Circuit Breakers Installation & commissioning.

In 2002, I was deployed to Egypt as resident project manager for the construction of a 66kV GIS substation.

In the first quarter of the year 2003, I returned to Lebanonwhere I was assigned to be the head of the construction team of Bsalim 220kV GIS substation. In the year following this project, I was deployed to Syria, from 2003 to 2005, as resident project manager for the construction of two 220kV AIS substations and two 220kV GIS substations.
