  • Exhibit deep working knowledge of NESC, IEEE, and industry-standard codes governing medium- and high-voltage substation design
  • Feature strong project leadership capabilities with a focus on cross-discipline communication and team collaboration
  • Demonstrate experience mentoring junior engineering staff and assigning project deliverables
  • Hold an active Professional Engineer (PE) license or show active progress toward PE registration
  • Display strong problem-solving skills and technical adaptability across complex energy projects
