Why Is This a Great Opportunity

• You stamp your own work.
• Real industrial power work. Substations, MV distribution, plant power. Not tenant improvements

• Small enough that your opinion shapes the firm, established enough that the pipeline is there
• A path to principal level rather than a title ceiling you have to leave to get past
