  • Mentor and coach junior engineers in secondary and SCADA design principles and project execution.
  • Liaise with clients, OEMs, and system integrators to clarify design requirements and resolve technical issues.
  • Support FAT/SAT and commissioning planning activities, ensuring designs are practical and testable.
  • Contribute to proposal preparation, tender reviews, and business development initiatives.
  • Stay informed on emerging technologies and industry standards relevant to secondary and SCADA systems.

  • Working knowledge of IEC61850-based communication systems is highly advantageous.
  • RPEQ and RPEV registrations
  • Strong understanding of primary substation layouts and interface coordination.
  • Experience reviewing designs, managing external vendors, and coordinating multidisciplinary teams.
