- Develop relay settings, short-circuit and fault-duty calculations, coordination studies, and supporting engineering records.
- Design substation control, automation, and metering solutions, including digital and hybrid substation architectures.
- Analyze disturbances, event records, and protection or control operations to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
- Support installation, testing, commissioning, operations, and maintenance activities in electrical substations.
