You are well-versed in construction work plan planning and you've successfully led teams through strategic planning and major implementation projects like SCADA and AMI, navigating complexity with confidence and clarity.
You're naturally curious and forward-thinking-keeping pace with industry trends and emerging technologies isn't just part of your job, it's part of your passion.
For you, continuous learning isn't a requirement-it's a source of energy and inspiration.Beyond technical expertise, you embody GLE's corporate culture and values.
You understand our mission, vision, and guiding principles, and you've demonstrated your ability to align departmental strategies, programs, and services with our broader organizational goals.
What's in It for You?We believe our people are our greatest asset and our benefits reflect that.
