Electrical Technician - Substation- ACADE

Electrical Technician - Substation

We are looking for candidates who are using Autocad Electrical (ACADE) with SDS (Substation Design Suite) in the substation industry. Ideally these candidates have been using the software for 3-5 years and can support some of the drafting/design independently. We would also be interested in candidates who know only ACADE but have been working in the substation industry. Our team is willing to teach the SDS skillset, but candidates need to have the substation industry experience. If candidates have ACADE only and no substation experience they will not be selected for interviews.
