  • Knowledge of labor risk factors including geographic location, weather conditions, labor market, installation challenges, and scheduling impacts.

  • Advanced comprehension of standard electrical systems involved in transmission and distribution construction.

  • Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Project.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Ability to work effectively under tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:
