The HR Manager,

Subject:- Application for Engineer Power Plant .

I offer my services for the subject post. I have worked at KAPCO (Base Load Capacity 1600 MW),
PAKISTAN and MARAFIQ (512.5 MW), SAUDI ARABIA. I have working experience of 8 years as
Shift Charge Engineer, 2 year as full time Outage Safety Controller, 2 years as Training Engineer,
5 years as Planning Engineer, 3 years for Power Plant Project during installation, erection, testing and
commissioning. Also, I have 4 years of Experience in Electrical Maintenance at Power Plants including
Combined Cycle Power Plants (Gas Turbine, HRSG & Steam Turbine).

After graduation in Electrical Engineering, I worked at three thermal power plants, to cover the power
plant knowledge I have enhanced my knowledge and studied many books related to Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering topics Thermodynamics, Turbines, Compressors, Eccentricity & Vibration,
Combined Cycle Thermal Efficiency.

During KAPCO privatization, I participated in IDC (Initial Dependable Capacity) tests of the Combined
Cycle, after that I also participated in ADC tests. Prior to ADC tests, normally we find out the causes of
combined cycle performance degradation and try to fix these problems as we can before performing the
test. It shows the KPI (Key Performance Indicators), which are looked at and maintained throughout the
plant operation.

At MARAFIQ, I worked as Shift Supervisor at GTG Power Operation and HRSG Supplying Steam to
Desalination Plants. I used SAP to raise and monitor notifications for plant defects.

I want to use my experience, knowledge, computer skills and trainings which are related to power plant
projects, commissioning and operation. Also I want to provide expert knowledge base for the
implementation of best practice assets management techniques. I want to use my computer skills and
trainings like Reliability Centered Maintenance, Predictive Based Maintenance and others for Planning
the activities at Power Plant.

Positions at KAPCO (1600 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant).
I have worked at the following positions in chronological order.
i. Senior Shift Engineer (Shift Charge Engineer)
I worked as Shift Charge Engineer at 1600 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant which consists
of three major blocks having 4 Siemens Gas Turbines V 94.2, 4 GE Gas Turbines Frame 9, and
5 Steam Turbines ABB Condensing type. I was responsible controlling, directing and training
shift operators and Shift Engineers.
I was responsible for:
• Starting, synchronizing, load variation, fuel change-over for all the GTs. These units were
started, according to the load demand, during the evening peak hours in combined cycle
mode and stopped late night after peak hours, some units remained in operation.
• Normally, the starting of gas turbines was carried out from LCR (local control room). Their
control is speedtronic Mark-IV.
• Testing & commissioning after repair of a Gas Turbine, HRSG and STG.
• To make sure compliance in all areas of Health, Safety and Environment and application of
British Safety Rules as applicable to the Power Station for all the fault and preventive
maintenance jobs and activities.
• Training of the operation staff (operators and trainee engineers) with the help of technical
training material.
• Understanding the operation procedures and instructions issued by the Operation Manager
for operations team.
• Attending the daily production meeting with operation and maintenance managers and
engineers and discussing the problems and its solution.
• Leading the planning meeting in the evening and deciding for day ahead jobs. Then permits
were prepared during the night shift and issued in the next morning.
• Attending the budget meeting, performance review meeting, health & safety meeting,
objective & target meeting.
• On daily basis we were doing calculation of plant performance and heat rate by computing
the parameters as part of shift report.
• During the shift hours, if any emergency arises, I act as incident controller. I also acted a
very important role during black-out restoration. I participated in preparation of a guide line
and identification of the breakers and selection of responsible persons to act under the
supervision of incident controller for the quick restoration.
• I was responsible to make sure that the plant meets the maximum availability, reliability,
efficiency, generation and cost targets, safely and within IMS environmental limits. I make
sure the safe, reliable and economical operation of all the units as per NPCC load demand.
• I have got authorization as Safety Controller after class room and practical training and
successful completion of tests and interviews. I am authorized for applying safety
precautions for Mechanical Plant (Main Plant and BOP) and Electrical Apparatus for LV,
MV and HV.
• I prepared routine shutdown & trips data by calculating equivalent operating hours of the
Gas Turbine Factored fired hours and this data was used for outage planning for
Combustion Inspection (CI), Hot Gas Path Inspection (HGPI) and Major Overhauling
(MO) for Gas Turbines, HRSG and Steam Turbines.
• After investigation, I have identified many points due to which plant load was being
affected and thus overall combined cycle efficiency was improved.
ii. Safety Controller & HSE Engineer
I was responsible to make sure compliance in all areas of Health, Safety and Environment and
application of British Safety Rules as applicable to the Power Station for all the fault and
preventive maintenance jobs and activities.
I was responsible for overall Health and Safety issues, ensuring safety standards, safety checks
and audits. Key Performance Indicators about health & safety are measured. Ensure that safety
standards are maintained and continually seek ways to improve safety standards. To Plan and
implement safety and health programs and promotional activities (e.g. inspections, campaigns
and competitions) that improve safety and health awareness. Establish and maintain a system
incident reporting, investigation and analysis as stipulated in the HSE manual. Conduct Safety
Department Review at least once every quarter to review the achievements of the Safety and
Health Objectives and improvements to the HSE manual. Investigate and report all reportable
accidents: internally to relevant persons, and externally to the relevant authorities. Brief and
instruct sub-contractors on the safety and health procedures and instructions that they and their
employees are required to comply with.

iii. Training Engineer

As Training Engineer, I have been working as part of the Human Resource (HR) department
for the Training & Development of all employee of my Company. Training Need Analysis
(TNA) was carried out with the help of respective sectional heads for their staff, training
requirements wee identified, annual training plan was prepared and then Internal and External
trainings were arranged. I worked as a Technical Trainer as well.
Having a vast experience in Operations Department, I have prepared technical training
material, operating procedures and instructions for operations team. I have written and prepared
many books (with the help of O&M Manuals), picture taken during overhauling were also
included in these books. These are very relevant books for the Operation Staff and Engineers
which describe the theory, operation techniques, parameters and limits about the Gas Turbines
and Steam Turbines in Combined Cycle mode.
I have applied the following strategy, at KAPCO, for getting quick and better understanding of
Operators while they remain on-duty, and I found it very useful for trainees and acceptable by
Managers.
1. Started with back to basics: A week program for refreshing the basic knowledge regarding
valves, pumps, turbines, generators, transformers, motors, switchgears, C&I. Identify
subject matter expert within team and make them present the topic to the team. This is
really useful, while people start understanding advanced plants, they forget core basics.
2. Break team in to four groups. Break plant systems in to four groups. Make each group
responsible for study of the assigned groups. This should basically involve, description,
basic specifications, P&IDs, Operation philosophy, Trouble shooting. Ask each group to
present topics to other groups. This really initiates self learning approach.
3. Field rounds: Group responsible for particular plant area should conduct detailed field
round along with P&IDs. Each one must have their own copy of P&IDs. Each and every
piping, instruments and locations must be reviewed during field rounds.
4. Assessment: It is important to assess the level of learning, Conduct a test for competency
assessment. Do gap analysis and implement corrective actions.
5. SOP: Making team write SOP is best exercise. Writing SOP is really a task of putting all
knowledge together. If SOPs are already written, ask teams to review those.
6. Operating Limits: Learning and reviewing plant operating limits was made a standard
practice. It also created understanding of the reasons why this is the upper or lower limit.
Last but not least, demonstration of deep interest by Department Manager in this activity is key
to success. Close follow up, regular involvement and surprise dip checks affects quality of
Training process.
Encouragement by IMS audits: Training plans was asked from all the departments during IMS
audits. This encouraged the training needs. All the departments in Operation and Maintenance
asked me to help them.

iv. Planning Engineer

As a Planning Engineer, following were my principal duties.
Using Power Plant Experience in Operation & Maintenance
• Plan and prepare work specifications and instructions that provide direction to the
Maintenance Department for corrective maintenance repairs, performance of preventive
maintenance and surveillance, and the implementation of modifications
