Job summary

You will run utility availability inquiries, drive make-ready, submit service agreements, document processes, and travel to markets as needed to keep energization on schedule.

Qualifications

• Flag sites where power presents a problem while it is still inexpensive to change course.
• Prepare and submit utility applications and service agreements and drive them through utility review.
• Drive make-ready design and construction so that utility work is complete before kiosk installation rather than after.
• Coordinate meter set, inspection, and final energization with the utility, the Project Manager, and field crews.
• Sequence utility work against the construction schedule so energization follows installation closely.
• Serve as the primary IKE contact for each utility in assigned markets, meeting regularly rather than only when an issue arises.
• Document each utility's process, lead times, fee structure, escalation paths, and requirements.
• Own the backlog of sites awaiting energization, working them as an active list and escalating anything aging.
