- Design and engineer 34.5 kV collect and export systems, protection infrastructure, and e-houses.
- Act as the switching authority for plant electrical systems, handling isolation, clearance, and energization.
- Create single-line diagrams, relay settings, and protection schematics.
- Execute power system studies like load flow, short circuit, and transient stability using industry tools.
- Perform root cause investigations and failure mode analysis to maintain high uptime.
- Oversee vendor selection, equipment specification, and site commissioning.
What you need
- Hold a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics, or electrical engineering technology.
- Demonstrate strong communication skills to accurately share knowledge with teammates.
- Possess a strong work ethic with prioritization skills to handle demanding infrastructure projects.
