Oversee and validate grid studies: short-circuit levels, load flow, protection coordination, harmonics and power quality
Own the technical compliance case for BESS and generation, including voltage and frequency response, reactive power capability and grid code testing

Troubleshoot electrical issues during construction and early operation
Ensure as-built systems comply with approved designs and grid requirements

Delivery and Stakeholders

Respond to RFIs, TQs and design clarifications, and align design, procurement and construction
