  • Experience selling technical services, engineering services, M&E consulting services, industrial solutions, utility-related services, or similar offerings.
  • Strong understanding of technical client environments and the ability to hold credible business conversations with engineers, developers, contractors, facility leaders, utility stakeholders, and procurement teams.
