• Proven success in business development, sales, operations, or executive leadership.
• Strong relationships within Georgia's utility and infrastructure market.
• Understanding of Georgia utility contracting and licensing requirements is highly preferred.
• Georgia Utility Manager or Utility Foreman certification is a plus, but not required.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and grow a new market.
