• Strong organizational, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and customer expectations.
• Commercial awareness, including understanding of project budgets, risk management, and customer value.
• Experience with municipal governments, public utilities, water/wastewater systems, AMI/AMR technologies, or infrastructure projects is a strong asset.
