• A commitment to safety, combined with a confident, positive attitude and a "can-do" mentality.
• In-depth knowledge of testing and commissioning power distribution systems, including medium and low voltage switchgear and transformers.
• Experience in testing and commissioning secondary systems, such as current transformers (CTs), voltage transformers (VTs), protection relays, automation and control systems, and bus communication protocols.
• Proficiency in relevant testing and commissioning methods, equipment, and reporting, including primary and secondary injection, ductor testing, insulation resistance testing, high-potential testing (HiPot), fault finding, and functional testing.
• A willingness to work abroad for extended periods and a valid driver's license.
