  • Expedite materials from suppliers to meet required on-site dates. This includes an ability to understand when to escalate and order expedite. 

  • Resolve customer order problems and complaints promptly. 

  • Compile project submittal packages.

  • Ability to read and interpret electrical plans, specifications, and drawings. 

  • Creative problem-solving skills with a customer-first mindset. 

  • Proficiency in relevant mathematical functions.
