• Hands-on experience with design software and analysis tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, PowerCad, ETAP, and SKM.
• Strong understanding of medium-voltage distribution, generators, UPS systems, and transfer switches.
• Experience with short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies aligned to NFPA and IEC standards.
