For a graduating project in Metropolia UAS, the author of this thesis worked as a project engineer in the management team for electrical installation of a 50MW Solar Power Plant. His goals of the thesis were to gain experience in the solar industry, to apply relevant knowledge and to understand the managerial role.
To accomplish that, first some theoretical review was undertaken, including solar power background which was his University specialization, and project management behaviors. The inherited knowledge made impactful contribution to his application of the complex electrical design. Meanwhile, the later entry of the review proved to be more crucial; as the role of a project management helped improve his awareness of scheduling, leadership, resource manipulation, risk monitoring, quality assurance and auditing.
During the planning phase, the author combined both theoretical enhancements to support his manager building a plan. The project contained installing electrical devices, conductors and safety measures. The plan divided the management team so each member handled one aspect; it also set up human management and construction methods. Due to the de-pendencies, the team did not achieve a solid schedule; instead they had to be prepared and adaptable to the scenario. The plan also required some documentation for progress reporting and payment.
The execution promised a challenging period for the team. They carried themselves through sensitive human communication and dealt with uncomfortable situations. Although their budget plan made it easier to handle the cost, the quality control demanded the most effort for monitoring the work.
Nevertheless, the project resulted in a success for all related parties; the components were installed correctly and the company received its deserved payment. Regarding the author; although his prior solar power knowledge was hardly applied, he achieved valuable expe-rience and was praised by his inferior for his work monitoring.
