- Senior-level candidates should bring strong experience with protection coordination, substations, transmission systems, and grid integration
🌱 Why This Opportunity?
This is a chance to move closer to the owner/operator side of renewable energy, working directly with operating generation assets rather than supporting projects solely from a consulting or EPC perspective. The position offers exposure across engineering, operations, SCADA, development, OEMs, and outside technical partners.
