Through clear reporting, confident presentations, and a focus on actionable solutions, you consistently help clients move from data to decisions that improve reliability, efficiency, and overall grid performance.

• Technician associate’s degree in electronics. Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent preferred.
• Five to seven years tenure in utility industry or utility equipment industry.
• Responsibilities related to understanding, articulating and/or troubleshooting grid shortcomings.
• Working with both company and client teams.
• Experience documenting client interactions.
