  • Testing & Commissioning: Oversee the entire lifecycle of the project, from design to commissioning, ensuring testing and installation processes are adhered to.
  • Control Systems Oversight: Implement and monitor control systems to guarantee secure and reliable system operation.
  • Power System Studies: Conduct and interpret power system studies to ensure that the designed system meets all technical and regulatory requirements.
  • Cybersecurity Integration: Ensure that the EMS/SCADA system is integrated with a robust cybersecurity framework.
