- Experience with relay protection/automation design and relay settings

- Ability to read and develop/review one-line and three-line diagrams
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, Engineering Base, EPLAN, or similar
- Knowledge of ANSI/IEEE protection standards
Plusses:
- Utility substation design experience
- Transmission/distribution protection scheme experience, including feeder, transformer, bus, line differential, and/or distance protection
- Siemens SIPROTEC or SEL relay programming experience
- SCADA and substation automation experience
- UL 508A, IEC, and/or NERC compliance knowledge
- Power generation or renewable-energy project experience
- Leadership or mentoring experience
