- Must have a degree in some sort of relevant field-doesn't need to be necessarily electrical engineering, but something that lines up(won't even consider a degree in finance or some unrelated field)
- Experience within a CO-OP/Utility/Civil Engineering-not all three, but at least one of those
- Experience design or the ability to "work plan” with the analysts and technicians
Would like someone with CAD or GIS experience and another nice to have would be "Transmission Line design” or "substation” experience
