• Working knowledge of IEEE 1584, IEEE 3000 Series (Color Books), and NFPA 70 & 70E.
• Strong written communication and reporting skills, plus proficiency in Excel and the Microsoft Office suite.

• Perform the full range of studies: load flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device and relay coordination.
• Create and analyze relay setting files and coordinate protection schemes.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for clients — scoping work, gathering data, and presenting findings and recommendations.
• Review and QC studies produced by junior engineers, and mentor them on modeling, analysis, and standards.
