What competency matrix are suggested for power consultant engineers?
My work organization has a competency matrix of different skills. The skills included different software packages and engineering practices for low/medium/high voltage power design and instrument and controls. Some of the fields include SKM, ETAP, UPS sizing, ground grid, and CAD. We are marked with 1 of 4 levels of competency in each field, something like new, beginner, intermediate, master. New is well defined "never used or performed before". The other levels are vague such as able to work with help from others, able to work by oneself, able to lead others.
I'm looking for a more specific way of categorizing those skills. For example, in skm, maybe use a classification that a beginner is a person who can create a 1-line, create a tcc, and update library for equipment. An intermediate might be load flow analysis, medium and high voltage components and a few other things.
My wondering is what is out in the world for helping to establish a course of action for concepts that power engineers should generally know and specifically know.
I liked college in that we were given a plan of learning. In real life practice, I don't know what I am missing from my understanding.
