• Perform advanced power system studies including short-circuit, coordination, load flow, and arc flash analysis.
• Conduct field assessments and power quality testing, identifying and resolving real-world electrical issues.
• Design and improve low- and medium-voltage distribution systems, including grounding and protection schemes.
• Collaborate directly with clients to present findings, recommend solutions, and guide key decisions.
• Utilize tools such as SKM, ETAP, Easypower, and AutoCAD to model and document systems.
• Lead or support on-site engineering activities, ensuring compliance with NFPA 70E, NEC, and OSHA standards.
• Contribute to project planning and proposals, supporting both execution and business growth.

• Experience within a consulting engineering environment.
• Familiarity with protection systems, modeling, and electrical layouts.
• Experience supporting proposals and client presentations.
