- Systems Proficiency: Extensive experience using ERP/MRP software at a strategic level to manage project BOMs, inventory, and schedules.
- **Analytical Decision-Making: **Exceptional ability to utilize a first-principles approach to solve multi-faceted logistical and technical problems.
- **Compliance & Safety: **Familiarity with relevant building and safety codes (NEC, UL); this is a safety-sensitive position requiring drug and alcohol program participation.
Bonus Points:
- **PMP Certification: **Project Management Professional (PMP) certification
- **Advanced Degree: **Master’s degree in Engineering Management or an equivalent field.
