• Lead small, low-risk projects involving differential, breaker-failure, line, and distance relaying.

• Test and troubleshoot P&C circuits, CTs, VTs, CCVTs, and CVTs.

• Independently operate phase-angle meters, relay test sets, fiber-optic test sets, carrier test sets, ground detectors, and CT testers.

• Apply knowledge of carriers, tone equipment, traps, and tuners.

• Support installation of portable/mobile substations, transformers, and other temporary equipment.

• Query ASPEN and independently commission circuits with DCC.

• Terminate and test fiber-optic cables.

• Work with SCADA systems, modems, SEL2032s, UniOP, SEL2411s, and other station annunciator and alarm packages.

• Understand Blocking Guidelines (CarWest).

• Serve as lead in a call-out role and participate in after-hours work and call-out rotation as required.

• Recognize limitations, avoid assumptions, and stop work to seek assistance when needed.

• Maintain accurate records and files while coordinating work effectively with others.

• Communicate clearly, build positive working relationships, and demonstrate developing leadership skills.

• Continually strengthen technical and professional knowledge and provide leadership to lower-level technicians.

• Support company goals and represent the company positively and professionally.

• Demonstrate the ability to pass panel review by meeting or exceeding Learner Relay Technician requirements.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
