Breaking into the Power Industry
Breaking into the Power Industry
(OP)
I posted this in the wrong spot earlier:
I would like to break into the power industry and don't know exactly how to go about it. I have BSEE and MSEE but no experience in the field and some dated experience (out side of the US) in maintenance and repair of electric/electronic equipment. I continously seek knowledge and have recently obtained a power system certificate but seem to get no response when applying for utility and related jobs. Suggestions are appreciated for where to find a starter job when I am not a recent graduate and have no experience. Areas of interest include substation engineering (automation & Integration, upgrades, grounding, etc.), protective relaying, distribution and transmission projects (analysis, design), Energy Management Systems and renewable energy.
Thanks.
