Experience mentoring technical teams and leading cross‑functional efforts.

Familiarity with renewable energy integration and grid modernization.
Existing equity or leadership experience in a consulting environment.
Key Responsibilities
Cultivate and expand a network of energy sector clients aligned with ERM’s growth strategy.
Deliver strategic consulting services with a focus on quality, value, and innovation.
Generate multi‑million dollar sales from selling services in environmental assessments, routing, permitting, and compliance.
