Proven experience in electrical network design within DNO/IDNO/ICP environments
Strong understanding of distribution network standards, protection principles and system planning
Proficiency with design and modelling tools (e.g., IPSA, DINIS, ETAP or similar)
Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications and regulatory frameworks
Excellent communication skills and confidence working with customers and stakeholders
A proactive, solutions‑focused mindset and a passion for delivering high‑quality work
