  • Strong cross-functional collaboration across engineering, construction, operations, and commercial teams
  • Technical expertise in at least one area: networking, electrical systems, cooling systems, monitoring & controls, or mission-critical infrastructure
  • Experience supporting technical sales cycles and managing customer opportunities
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, including engagement with senior stakeholders
