I started working for Downer Power in 2014 as a trainee electrical fitter. This was my first electrical work I had undertaken in employment and soon started an apprenticeship which I completed in 2017. Once qualified I have been generally running my own jobs which have included installations and replacements of transformers, ring main units, pillar boxes etc and high and low voltage cable jointing. One of my last projects was assisting with the build of a new upgraded substation which has involved everything from the fitment of equipment down to the control wiring. I was also rostered on our after hours faults team which generally covers 1st and second response diagnosis and repairs for all underground work and limited overhead repairs.
