Working on a US-hours overlap,
they act as the remote P&C; counterpart to on-site commissioning engineers — turning around settings files and configuration so site teams can energize and test without delay.

• Develop, configure, and validate settings for SEL protective relays (e.g., SEL-487E, SEL-411L, SEL-751, SEL-351, SEL-2440) using acSELerator QuickSet and SEL-5030.
• Build and test SELogic control equations, DNP3/IEC 61850 communications mapping, and HMI/RTAC integration points.
• Maintain settings version control and generate relay settings files, test plans, and settings sheets for field upload.
Support to the US commissioning team
• Serve as the remote P&C; engineer for in office commissioning, responding to field queries.
• Troubleshoot relay logic, wiring, and SCADA issues raised during FAT/SAT and energization; issue corrected settings and red-line markups.
