Communications consultant for crisis communication/issue management at AQIM – Association for Quality in Interim Management
Planning, execution & moderation of crisis communication and reputation management
AQIM is a non-profit organization based in Austria. An association of interim managers from Germany and Austria. Founded in December 2024. Multi-part training with workshops and consulting for preventive crisis communication, in cooperation with the founding members and those responsible for communication. To assess crisis potential for the market entry strategy and ahead of a digital campaign.

Consulting and training for the purpose of:
- Analysis of crisis potential as a new market entrant and its internet-based communication activities
- Planning and developing crisis communication with targeted measures
- Developing a crisis plan to minimize reputation risks in an emergency
- Conducting training and information sessions
Success:
- What started as a one-time consulting event for preparing an information campaign became a multi-part workshop on preventive crisis communication. This not only gave the organization expertise and confidence in the event of acute challenges, but also gave the participating interim managers new skills for their day-to-day work on assignments

About the technology
Power systems work
Power engineering covers the design, operation, and control of electrical power systems. It is used for grids, substations, industrial plants, renewables, and backup power. Strong specialists help keep energy flowing safely, efficiently, and with the right protection in place.
Typical deliverables
- Load flow and short-circuit studies
- Protection coordination and relay settings
- Substation and switchgear concepts
- Grid connection support for new assets
- Commissioning and troubleshooting support
Tools and standards
Power Engineering specialists often work with ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, and related analysis tools. They also need a solid grasp of IEC standards, utility practices, and equipment data sheets. Good work here depends on accurate models and clear assumptions.
When companies bring in freelancers
Companies usually need freelance support when a project has a tight timeline, a missing specialist, or a short peak in workload. That is common in plant upgrades, grid studies, renewable integration, and fault analysis. In Germany, this also fits teams that need local plant knowledge and English-speaking coordination across suppliers.
What strong specialists do
A strong professional does more than run software. They check boundary conditions, challenge bad input data, and explain risks in plain language. They can connect theory, field constraints, and documentation so engineers and non-specialists can act on the results.
Common project settings
Power engineering shows up in utilities, manufacturing, data centers, transport, and energy projects. The work may involve HV or MV networks, earthing, arc flash reviews, protection schemes, or renewable plant connections. Remote work is often possible for studies and documentation, while site visits help during testing and commissioning.
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Power Engineering, in one place.
A strong Power Engineering specialist helps with the design and analysis of electrical power systems. That can include load flow studies, protection coordination, substation layouts, grid connection work, and commissioning support. The focus is always on safe, stable, and practical power delivery.
In many projects, Power Engineering and power systems engineering are used for very similar work. Searchers also use terms like electrical power engineering, power systems, or grid engineering when they need the same kind of specialist. The exact scope depends on whether the project is about generation, transmission, distribution, or industrial power.
A good Power Engineering freelancer often works with ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, or similar analysis tools. They should also know how to handle study models, protection settings, and technical documentation. Tool choice matters less than whether the specialist can produce clean, defensible results.
A strong Power Engineering profile usually includes protection engineering, electrical design, standards knowledge, and commissioning experience. For renewable or industrial projects, knowledge of grid codes, switchgear, earthing, and automation can be important too. The best specialists can bridge analysis and site reality.
A Power Engineering task does not always need a very senior profile, but the risk level matters. Routine studies or documentation may fit a specialist with solid practical experience, while complex grid integration, fault studies, or protection redesign need deeper judgment. The right level depends on the system voltage, site complexity, and whether decisions affect live assets.
Yes, much Power Engineering work can be done remotely, especially studies, model updates, calculations, and documentation. On-site time becomes more important for inspections, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting. In Germany, many projects use a mix of remote analysis and local site presence.
Look for clear assumptions, complete calculations, and practical recommendations in a Power Engineering deliverable. Good specialists explain why a result matters, not just what the software output says. Ask for examples of study reports, protection settings, or commissioning documents that show disciplined work.
Power Engineering experts are often needed in utilities, manufacturing, data centers, transport, and renewable energy projects. They also support substations, industrial plants, and infrastructure work where reliable electrical supply is critical. If your site depends on stable power, this skill set is relevant.
