This role is accountable for the overall performance of the low voltage business line: staffing and developing design, field, and PM staff; managing project portfolio health (schedule, margin, quality); owning client and subcontractor relationships at the account level; and partnering with the Principal Low Voltage Designer and other technical leads to ensure operational execution matches technical standards.

• Support annual budgeting and headcount planning for the LVC department

Client & Stakeholder Relationships

• Own executive-level client relationships for key accounts and major projects
• Represent LVC in cross-departmental leadership meetings (Operations, Sales, Engineering)
