• Design and specification of medium and low voltage electrical networks, including knowledge of relevant engineering software.
• Understanding of power generation technologies, in particular HV electrical rotating machines and static plant.
• Knowledge (in general and for HV electrical work in particular) of site safety systems, preparation of risk assessments and method statements.
