3 to 7 years of engineering experience in the electric utility sector or relevant consulting roles.
Proficiency in electrical engineering principles, substation design, protection philosophies, and relay settings.
Strong organizational, planning, and analytical skills with a proactive approach to learning new software.
Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams and communicate technical concepts clearly.
Experience with software such as Microsoft Office Suite, Bluebeam (preferred), AutoCAD Electrical, ARC-GIS (preferred), ETAP, AcSELerator, and relay testing/commissioning tools.
