• Comfortable leading teams and communicating directly with clients.
• Proficiency in project management tools (Accubid, Bluebeam, Procore, etc.).
• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred (experience may substitute).
• PMP or PE a plus.

Winning Behaviors and Competencs
