Licensed Electrical Engineer (PEC Certified) | 100% Job Success | 821+ Hours on Upwork I deliver arc flash hazard analysis, protection coordination studies, short circuit calculations, and power system models — using SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, and PowerWorld Simulator — formatted for direct client submission worldwide. You provide SLDs, equipment data, and project scope. I return fully modeled, analyzed, and documented study packages your reviewing engineer can stand behind. That is exactly what I do. I work as your dedicated power system analyst. You provide the data — SLDs, equipment nameplates, utility fault information, and your project scope. I deliver fully modeled, thoroughly analyzed, and professionally documented study reports, ready for review, approval, and submission by your licensed or chartered engineer of record. I do not provide licensed engineering stamps or country-specific certifications. My role is rigorous technical analysis and documentation that gives your approving authority — whether a PE, CEng, or local regulatory engineer — a complete, defensible package to work from. Services & Deliverables Arc Flash Hazard Analysis Applicable frameworks: IEEE 1584-2018, NFPA 70E, IEC standards, and equivalent national regulations Full equipment and bus modeling from your provided SLDs and equipment data Short circuit study as the analytical foundation for incident energy calculations Incident energy levels and arc flash protection boundaries at every studied bus Arc flash warning label dataset ready for panel installation Final hazard analysis report structured for regulatory submission or internal safety programs Arc flash analysis is relevant wherever personnel work on or near energized electrical equipment — not just in the US. If your facility operates at medium or low voltage and workers interact with electrical panels, switchgear, or distribution equipment, this study protects them regardless of your jurisdiction. Protection Coordination & Short Circuit Studies Applicable standards: ANSI/IEEE C37, IEC 60909, IEC 60947, BS EN 60909, and equivalent national standards Short circuit fault current calculations at every system bus (ANSI or IEC methodology) Equipment duty verification against rated interrupting and withstand capabilities Time-current curve (TCC) development for overcurrent devices across the system Relay, fuse, and breaker coordination for maximum selectivity and fault isolation Coordination study report with recommended device settings and selectivity rationale Whether your system follows ANSI, IEC, or a hybrid standard framework, I can model and analyze it accurately. Load Flow & Power Quality Studies Applicable across all utility and industrial voltage levels Steady-state load flow for voltage profiles, equipment loading, and bottleneck identification Overloaded feeder and transformer assessment with load redistribution recommendations Cable ampacity verification and sizing with derating per applicable standards Reactive power and power factor analysis with capacitor bank placement modeling Harmonic distortion analysis and passive or active filter design studies Motor starting analysis for large motor impacts on system voltage stability Engineering Documentation & Single-Line Diagrams Design-basis and as-built SLDs in AutoCAD Electrical per ANSI or IEC symbol conventions Equipment tagging, feeder schedules, and bus labeling to your project standard Revision-ready drawing packages structured for multi-stage engineering review Who I Work With Industrial facility owners — manufacturing plants, refineries, data centers, hospitals — needing compliance studies or infrastructure assessments Electrical and EPC engineering firms — offloading modeling and study workload to a dedicated analyst while your engineers focus on delivery Utility and infrastructure developers — requiring distribution system studies for new projects or network expansions Consulting engineers — needing a second modeler for complex simulations, peer-checking, or capacity overflow Research institutions and universities — running power system simulations, FACTS studies, transient analysis, or grid integration work Oil and gas and offshore operators — requiring industrial power system analysis for hazardous area facilities Software ETAP 19/20/21/24 · EasyPower · SKM PowerTools (PTW) · PowerWorld Simulator · DigSILENT PowerFactory · PSCAD · AutoCAD Electrical Standards Applied IEEE 1584-2018 · NFPA 70E · ANSI/IEEE C37 · IEC 60909 · IEC 60364 · IEC 61936 · NEC (NFPA 70) · BS 7671 (reference) Study Types Arc Flash Hazard Analysis · Short Circuit (ANSI & IEC) · Load Flow · Protection & Coordination · Motor Starting · Harmonic Analysis · Cable Ampacity · Transient Stability · Contingency (N1-N2) Analysis "Mudassir is very knowledgeable and has a very good grip in PowerWorld Simulator.

At A Glance: Fire Protection Engineering

Nothing is more terrifying than the thought of your home or place of business being consumed in an insurmountable inferno, putting you and loved ones, friends, or colleagues in grave danger. Each year, far too many lives are claimed by fires that begin unforeseeably in a residence or workplace. So, too, are all too many structures, natural areas, and even whole communities. With rising temperatures and depleted water reserves in many areas of the world, including large portions of North America, the risk of fire has increased dramatically, making fire protection and prevention more crucial than ever before. Fire protection engineering specialists are responsible for applying science and engineering principles to protect people, property, and the environment from the dangerous effects of fire and smoke. These professionals are behind the creation and production of numerous life-saving fire protection and prevention products. Fire protection engineers also take part in jobs involving construction or evaluations, ensuring that a commercial building or residential property is built in compliance with local, state, and federal fire safety laws and regulations. They can ensure proper fire detection equipment, such as fire alarm systems and brigade call systems, have been installed. They will also ensure that, in case of fire, proper exits, such as fire lifts and emergency exits, are available and clearly marked, working proactively to prevent fatalities.

On Upwork, you’ll find numerous fire protection engineering specialists available for hire to assist you with your next project. These highly-qualified freelancers boast a wealth of experience as well as knowledge, making them an important part of the team.
