  • Create and review bills of materials for relay panels, control cabinets, communications equipment, and P&C systems.
  • Develop and review proposals and scopes of work for smaller substation P&C projects.
  • Plan and lead client meetings, or meeting sections, related to protection and control design.
  • Support commissioning activities, relay testing, troubleshooting, and energization planning.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers.
  • Communicate effectively with internal teams and clients to meet project objectives.
  • Develop leadership skills in preparation for future roles on the Power Delivery team.
