- Preparing bills of material and cabling tables for electrical-related equipment in Excel

**Your profile**

Skills and/or knowledge
- An understanding of low voltage distribution networks (selectivity, completing calculation notes, knowledge of European LV standards, protection, protection of circuits for indirect contact, knowledge of different types of earthing systems)
- A good understanding of power systems; voltage drop calculations, short circuit calculations, understanding fault levels, dimensioning of cables
- Experience on low voltage design calculation tools (ElecCalc, Caneco or similar software)
- Proficient in AutoCAD

Beneficial skills/or knowledge:

- Experience on the design of lighting systems for buildings and external areas using DIALux
- Experience with E-PLAN or similar software
- Experience in the design of medium voltage distribution networks
- Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage
