HM Notes:
Electric power distribution
More of a distribution role (medium voltage) versus transmission engineering- do not want low voltage exp

Large facilities design:
University campuses, military bases, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, anything related to renewable energy, natural gas
Substation design, drawing development, protection & control, renewables, microgrids
Federal or military design exp a huge plus

Experience with ETAP, SKM, and the NEC (National Electric Code) knowledge is a plus

Someone who has managed personnel is a nice to have but not required- just need to have interest in that
