We're excited to welcome Steven Hataway to Gridco as our new Principal Protection and Control Engineer!
Steven brings more than 34 years of electric utility experience, nearly all of it in Protection and Control. His career began in a university high voltage laboratory before he moved into the field, testing relays and troubleshooting equipment across distribution, transmission, and generation stations.
For 22 years, he led protective relay settings work, developing settings across every voltage class and mentoring the next generation of engineers. His last role focused on design, guiding projects from early planning through final engineering.
Steven's depth in relay settings and design adds another layer of technical judgment to our Engineering team as Gridco takes on more complex substation and transmission work. He is a licensed Professional Engineer and stays active with national standards and reliability organizations across the industry.
While no relation to our own Greg Hataway, we're thrilled to have another "Hataway" on the team. Welcome aboard, Steven!
