Simulate events such as faults and outages to see how the transmission network behaves over a range of network conditions
Working alongside experienced engineers across various departments to identify technical issues and decide on outcomes that affect not just the company, but the network as a whole
Performing calculations on real network and customer data
Providing technical insight to other roles
Collaborating with other roles to understand the physical space constraints and customer priorities alongside your technical results to formulate a holistic design
Getting involved in innovative projects, outside of business as usual
