  • 6+ years or more of relay/protection settings engineering experience.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Project, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
  • Proven experience in Substation Design, including general arrangement, electrical equipment plans, elevation and section views, equipment cable trays, cable design, conduit fill calculations and rigid bus calculations.
