Bio
Mohamed Abrahim is an Electrical, Instrumentation, and Control engineer with more than two years of experience designing electrical power distribution, process control, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network systems. He has worked on a variety of projects in the water & wastewater industry. He joined Brown and Caldwell team right after his graduation from University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2017. During his time at Brown and Caldwell, Mohamed prepared and developed electrical and I&C drawings such as one line diagrams, electrical distribution equipment (such as MCCs and Switchgears) elevations, motor control schematics, Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) layouts; and conducted studies for power system performance and arc flash evaluation. Mohamed also has experience in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) programming using RSlogix 5000 and brief exposure to FactoryTalk Studio.
