Responsibilities

  • Engineer protection and controls for campus power: relaying schemes from generation through distribution.
  • Own the settings: coordination studies and relay files developed, verified, and configuration-managed.
  • Design the P&C architecture: relays, communications, and SCADA integration per the reference design.
  • Support commissioning: settings loaded, functions tested, and misoperations root-caused.

Qualifications

  • You've done protection engineering: relay settings and coordination for MV and HV systems.
  • You've developed settings for SEL or equivalent platforms hands-on.
  • You've commissioned protection schemes in the field.
  • You've investigated relay operations and found the truth in the event records.
  • Your settings files are managed like the safety-critical code they are.
  • Bonus: Generator protection. IEC 61850 and communications-assisted schemes. NERC PRC exposure. Arc-flash mitigation schemes.
