• Skilled in specifying large transformers (>500 MVA) and generator circuit breakers (22-24 kV).
• Strong knowledge of auxiliary systems: DC/AC UPS, EDG, bus ducts, capacitor banks, lighting, earthing, cable routing, and small power.
• Comprehensive understanding of grid codes (KAHRAMAA preferred): power control, synchronization, stability, fault ride-through, island operation, and compliance testing.
• Familiarity with operational states, black start design, and RMS/EMT power system studies.
• Proficient in protection/control schemes, tariff metering, and SCADA systems.
• Knowledge of PPAs and technical implications.
• Expertise in lightning protection (IEEE 998, IEC 62305) and 400 kV overhead line/cable systems, including transient analysis (IEC 60071), cable bonding (IEEE 575), and reactor design.
• Experience with SAFOP, RAM analysis, ECM/EMI studies.
• Ability to lead design reviews and technical workshops independently.

Educational Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering.
• Minimum 15 years of experience in large-scale power plant projects.
• Familiarity with KAHRAMAA grid code and international standards.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.
