Leon Seun was promoted to Electrical Engineer I in June 2022 after a year with KDM. Leon says that he wanted a career in distribution engineering and chose KDM for its culture and accomplishments. When he started with KDM, Leon gathered field data, and worked on projects including AMI/DA, Make Ready, and Voltage Optimization. In his new role, Leon has been peer mentoring and training others on gathering field data, pole analysis, and distribution engineering. He hopes to learn more about other distribution systems including substation, transmission, and telecommunications. He is also looking forward to taking on more responsibilities and training other engineers. “In less than 2 years at KDM I've already had the pleasure of working with so many great people who continue to motivate me!” he said.
