  • Collaborate with technical sales, operations, engineering, estimating, proposals, and commercial teams to develop tailored customer solutions that support revenue generation, customer retention, and successful project execution.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, customer feedback, and sector developments to identify opportunities for service positioning, business expansion, and improved profitability.
