Designing protection schemes for transmission lines, transformers, and buses, programming and testing protection relays (SEL, GE, Schweitzer), conducting relay coordination studies, maintaining relay settings databases, supporting commissioning activities, and managing relay maintenance programmes.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, 4–9 years of protection and relay engineering experience, hands-on experience with at least one major relay platform (SEL, GE, or ABB), and relay coordination study capability. NERC FAC-001 and FAC-002 knowledge is valued.
Protection engineers who have commissioned a new substation end-to-end — from protection scheme design through functional testing — have experienced the full complexity of protection engineering in a way that maintenance-only engineers have not.
