power distribution engineer
Power distribution engineers design and operate facilities which distribute power from the distribution facility to the consumers. They research methods for the optimisation of power distribution, and ensure the consumers' needs are met. They also ensure compliance to safety regulations by monitoring the automated processes in plants and directing workflow.
Also called: power distributions engineer, power distribution systems engineer, power distribution technology engineering expert, power distribution technology engineering consultant, power distribution technology engineering adviser, power distribution technology engineer, power distribution engineering specialist, power distribution engineering consultant
