- Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards: NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE (C37 series, 80, 141, 242, 399, 551), ANSI, and NERC reliability standards applicable to generating stations, required.
- Experience specifying and evaluating testing of power equipment: transformers (DGA, HiPot, turns ratio, winding resistance), breakers, surge arresters, CTs/PTs, and protective relays, required.
- Understanding of grounding system design, ground fault protection, and step-and-touch potential analysis, required.
- Demonstrated experience managing project budgets, schedules, and full project lifecycle activities in a utility or heavy industrial environment, required.
- Experience with cross-discipline drawing verification and peer review processes; ability to reconcile information across multiple drawing sets (e.g., electrical, instrumentation, mechanical) to ensure field accuracy, required.
- Experience with purchase specification development and vendor management for major electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, generators, protective relays), preferred.
- Direct experience supporting NERC compliance activities, including generator verification testing (MOD-025), relay-to-capability coordination (PRC-019), or reliability standards documentation, preferred.
- Experience with medium-voltage switchgear design, specification, and commissioning (5 kV, 15 kV, or 27 kV class), preferred.
