• National Grid TP141 authorisation, ideally one or two of the following: TP141 Protection & Control, TP141 Commissioning Officer, and TP141 Relay Settings;

• Conversant with Health & Safety requirements and responsibilities under CDM regulations, ideally holding National Grid Principal Designer status;
