• Comfort working directly with engineering, project management, and field/construction teams.
• Electrical equipment/material purchasing experience is a strong plus.
• Background working with buyers or procurement teams in T&D, electrical infrastructure, power delivery, utility construction, or EPC environments is highly desirable.

Skills
