How to become a power distribution engineer?

To become a power distribution engineer, you must earn a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and earn several years of experience in an industrial or process manufacturing environment. The more education you have, the less experience you need, so it may be beneficial to pursue a master’s degree or doctorate. You must be able to apply engineering principles and aware of federal and local laws for electrical regulations. Employers prefer candidates who have experience working with automated drafting tools and distribution analysis software. Additional qualifications include knowledge of construction procedures and equipment as well as voltage and motor controls, and excellent communication skills.
