Muyiwa ade Ade

Goal-driven Electrical and Renewable Energy Engineer with strong experience in electrical maintenance, energy systems, and sustainable power generation. I hold an MSc in Renewable Energy and a BEng in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, supported by hands-on experience in industrial gas turbine power plants (304MW OCGT site), solar PV systems, and energy efficiency projects across Nigeria and the UK. I have practical expertise in electrical installation, maintenance, testing, and fault diagnosis in compliance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, alongside strong academic and research experience in renewable energy modelling, data analysis, and system optimisation using MATLAB and other analytical tools.

I am highly capable of working independently and within multidisciplinary teams under pressure, with a strong focus on safety, quality, and meeting deadlines. My experience spans energy consultancy, research, installation engineering, and project support across public and private sectors. I am passionate about sustainable energy development, continuous improvement, and using data-driven insights to support efficient and environmentally responsible engineering solutions.
