• Ensure that electrical systems comply with safety, reliability, redundancy, and operational requirements of the plant.

• Develop and maintain electrical system models utilizing ETAP, SKM Power Tools, PSCAD, CYME, or similar software.

• Conduct power flow, short-circuit, arc-flash, coordination, protection, motor-starting, harmonics, and transient studies.

• Assess the steady-state and transient performance of HV/MV distribution systems.

• Aid in interconnection design, encompassing substation configuration, protection schemes, metering, and adherence to regulatory standards.

• Formulate technical specifications and spearhead vendor evaluations and selections.

• Assist with construction activities, including installation, routing, grounding, testing, and turnover procedures.

• Develop commissioning plans and facilitate energization, system bring-up, and troubleshooting efforts.

• Apply relevant standards including IEEE, NFPA, NESC, NEMA, UL, IEC, and interconnection guidelines.

• Collaborate with Nuclear Engineering, Balance of Plant (BOP) Engineering, Controls/I&C, and Infrastructure/Civil teams.
