NEI Mid-Career Competency Model: Individual Contributor

This competency model was created to provide career development guidance for mid-career professionals in the energy industry. Professionals can use this model as a guideline for their individual development plan by looking for opportunities that will align to competencies they will need for advanced individual contributor positions. Professional societies can use this tool as a reference when creating professional development opportunities for their members. The competencies listed are for mid-career individual contributors. These people are fully qualified and becoming technical experts. Mid-Career Competencies build on those in the Energy Generation, Transmission and Distribution Competency Model identified for entry-level energy workers. Many organizations already have full or partial competency models for their mid-career energy workforce. This Mid-Career Competencies document does not replace a company’s model. Individuals are encouraged to use their company’s competency model if it is available.
