Functionality and switching

 * AC and DC control wiring interpretation and testing - ask for an example they've marked up.
 * Isolation, earthing, and proving dead at 11kV-132kV - should be able to describe the sequence.
 * Switching schedules - has the candidate written one?
 * Site commissioning through to energisation, start to finish, with no gaps in experience.

Authorisation & compliance

 * Experience issuing safety documents (Permit to Work, Sanction for Test) - ask for an example.
 * Understanding of EAWR 1989, HSE-HV-001, HSG230, and BS 6626.
