* Review contractor relay settings, logic diagrams (including IEC 61850 / GOOSE messaging), and operational descriptions.
* Perform or review relay coordination studies and assess required levels of system coordination based on changes in fault duty or system performance.
* Review relay settings for temporary builds, mobile units, and staged construction sequences.
* Provide input to system modelling tools (e.g., ASPEN OneLiner) for protection-related updates.
* Support implementation, testing, and commissioning of protection and automation systems.
* Provide feedback and recommendations to improve internal protection and design standards.
* Ensure all as-built documentation is captured and stored correctly.
* Lead automation and integration design at substation level, including SCADA point lists, HMI screens/settings, and IED data mapping.
* Prepare substation operational descriptions (HMI operation, relay front-panel behaviour, etc.).
* Review digital substation maintenance data point lists.
* Track required licences, firewall access, and key automation/integration deliverables for project execution.
* Conduct constructability reviews to ensure adequate protection, automation, and SCADA coverage for all outage steps.
Key Requirements
* Strong experience in substation protection & control engineering.
* Knowledge of relay protection systems and settings.
* Familiarity with IEC 61850, GOOSE messaging, digital substations.
