• Train younger Engineers on standard electrical engineering software tools like ETAP, SKM, CDEGS, etc.
• Electrical system modeling including grounding, load flow, short-circuit, and arc-flash analysis.
• Protective relay setting development, calculation, and coordination studies.
• Develop scope of work, conceptual design, and execution plans.
• Develop equipment specifications, procure, review vendor drawings and carry out factory acceptance testing of electrical equipment.
• Prepare engineering cost and man-hour estimates and schedules.
• Prepare/ create electrical deliverables such as one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, schematics, interconnection drawings, equipment layouts, cable schedules, panel schedules, power, grounding and lighting layouts for construction/installation of new or modifications of existing power generating facility electrical systems.
• Regularly meet and correspond with clients or outside personnel.
• Travel to the United States as required and requested to support assignments on projects and overall office needs.
• Good communication skills and team management skills.
