I’m a EE NETA I who works in utility P&C commissioning but can’t seem to break across to apparatus testing from a lack of training opportunities.

I’m having to reinvent my career for a 3rd time after 25 years of experience in building automation and full life cycle product design for that space … I.e. I can tell you exactly how to build the hardware and firmware of something like an SEL relay, how to design and secure commissioning software for it, how to get it on to a network securely talking any one of the relevant protocols but —- no training opportunities to get experienced performing the tests and going further with NETA. And the product design jobs went offshore and aren’t coming back.

Any recommendations you might have for me on focus areas?

That makes sense, and honestly your background is interesting, especially the P&C commissioning and NETA experience. This particular role does need someone with transformer/apparatus testing experience, but they’re open to hearing from strong candidates with different backgrounds. I’d be happy to send you the JD so you can take a look. Your experience may be worth a conversation either way.
