  • Proven track record of building and maintaining client relationships.
  • Preferred: existing relationships with utility, municipal, or telecom clients in our service markets.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Business, or related field preferred; equivalent industry experience will be considered.
