- IQGeo
- ADMS
- OMS
- DERMS
- Work Management Platforms
- Mobile and Field Solutions
- Provide independent review and oversight of vendor recommendations, implementation decisions, and architectural approaches.




- Participate in governance forums, steering committees, and stakeholder discussions to support strategic decision-making.
- Define target-state architecture and integration roadmaps that support long-term business objectives.

Qualifications

- Experience providing technical leadership, governance, or advisory services on complex utility transformation initiatives.
- Ability to communicate effectively with executives, program leaders, vendors, architects, and business stakeholders.
