You’ll also play a key role in mentoring junior engineers and helping shape the standards and processes of the team.
 

What Your Day Will Look Like:   

• Lead development and review of relay settings for substations, distribution systems, and industrial facilities
• Perform and oversee studies: load flow, short circuit, arc flash, coordination, and equipment evaluation
• Review time-current curves, relay logic, and protection scheme drawings
• Guide use of ETAP, SKM PowerTools, and ASPEN
• Serve as technical lead for client-facing protection scopes
• Collaborate with substation and P&C teams to ensure integrated design
• Develop protection philosophies, study templates, and QA/QC protocols
• Produce clear, defensible technical reports and documentation
• Support occasional fieldwork, commissioning, and troubleshooting (up to 15% travel)
