- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, or 8+ years of directly related professional
experience. - 3–5+ years of experience in project-based design management (renewable energy, EV
charging infrastructure, or power grids desirable). - 2+ years of construction project design specification development and management.
- 3+ years of managing third-party engineering consultants.
- 3+ years of creating, editing, and commenting in CAD tools, with expertise in AutoCAD.
