This role is perfect for an experienced tradesperson who is technically strong, highly organized, and communicates well. You'll be handling everything from troubleshooting a tripped breaker at a local school to quoting small- to mid-sized service jobs on-site - offering a great mix of hands-on work and coordination that keeps every day interesting.
Requirements
