- You’ll have a bachelor’s degree in a related field such as Electrical Engineering or Electrical Power Systems Engineering, with experience in protection electric power systems
- A familiarity with SCADA and digital communication systems, as well as experience with configuration of Siemens and SEL numerical protection relays, would be an advantage
- Design experience is an added bonus.

**What we can offer you**
