Additional skills that would be considered an asset include:

• Power system analysis, short circuit, load flow, arc flash, motor starting and dynamic studies using ETAP or PSCAD.

About You:

• Minimum of a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from a recognized university; a post graduate degree would be an asset.
• 0-3 years of relevant experience, preferably in an engineering consulting environment.
• Strong understanding of electrical machines and power systems theory.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
