  • 15–20 years of experience in grid connection roles within renewable energy, oil & gas, or large-scale industrial projects.
  • Strong expertise in high/medium voltage systems (132kV–400kV), generators, and process plants (e.g., hydrogen, ammonia).
  • Proficiency in electrical modeling tools (e.g., ETAP, DIgSILENT, PSSE).
  • Experience in technical support across development, execution, and operational phases.
  • Familiarity with technical negotiations in PPA, EPC, O&M, and transmission agreements.
  • Knowledge of grid code compliance, electrical safety in hazardous areas, and energy efficiency calculations.
  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management capabilities.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and coaching skills.
  • Ability to work through ambiguity and adapt to evolving project needs.
  • Results-driven with strong planning and organizational abilities.
