Your Background

  • Strong understanding of relay protection schemes, including protection, control, measurement, and supervision functionalities
  • Familiarity with various brands of protective relays and their applications, and knowledge of protection panel design and industry best practices
  • Experience in power systems studies, including grid codes and protection coordination, and ability to validate protection settings and configuration correctness
  • Competence in interpreting technical specifications and managing sub-suppliers throughout project lifecycles
