• Strong project delivery experience in Smart Buildings, controls, BEMS, or a related technical environment, with the ability to manage multiple live projects.
• Proven leadership experience with an ability to guide teams, develop talent, and maintain high standards of performance and safety.
• Excellent stakeholder and customer management skills, with confidence representing SSE on site and solving challenges collaboratively.
