  • Work closely with third-party partners to align expectations, monitor performance, and support timely delivery of project commitments.

  • Promote adoption of new tools and processes by organizing training, supporting change readiness, and identifying opportunities for workflow improvement.

  • Ability to oversee several active projects simultaneously while balancing competing priorities and stakeholder needs.

  • Strong communication, organizational, and team leadership skills across both technical and non-technical groups.

  • Experience working with infrastructure-focused projects, including areas such as network environments, enterprise infrastructure, data center initiatives, or structured cabling.

  • Familiarity with transportation management platforms, fleet-related systems, or similar operational business applications is preferred.

  • Project management certification such as PMP, Agile, or a comparable credential is a plus. Technology Doesn’t Change the World, People Do.®
