  • In Solutions Engineering, assist with configuring protective relays, RTUs, and HMIs, support system testing and troubleshooting, and gain practical experience with AC / DC schematics, wiring diagrams, communication diagrams, and logic diagrams.
  • In Solutions Offers, learn how technical scope is translated into engineering hours, costs, and customer proposals.
  • In CSI, help standardize solutions and prepare customer-ready designs for execution.
  • In GCC, see how projects are supported after delivery, including warranty, issue resolution, and customer case management.
