CPP is seeking a Vice President of Business Development – Transmission Lines to build and scale CPP’s commercial position in the North American transmission line market. This is a senior, highly entrepreneurial and externally focused role for a self-directed leader who can create business rather than simply manage existing demand. CPP already has technical capabilities and services applicable to the transmission market; a key initial responsibility of this role will be to work with the CTO and technical teams to organize those capabilities into a coherent, differentiated and commercially compelling transmission service portfolio. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in the transmission line ecosystem and an established network of relationships with the organizations and decision-makers who plan, design, engineer, build, maintain, repair, and operate transmission infrastructure. The VP will define the target clients, buyer profiles, project and asset lifecycle stages, and technical problems for which each CPP offering creates the greatest value, and then develop and execute the corresponding go-to-market strategy. The VP will personally develop new client relationships and opportunities across utilities and transmission owners/operators, developers, EPCs, engineering and line-design firms, specialty contractors,



and relevant equipment and technology providers. The role requires enough technical credibility to understand the transmission line project and asset lifecycle, identify where CPP’s capabilities can solve important client problems, and translate those needs into actionable opportunities with CPP’s CTO and technical teams. Success in this position depends on a specific leadership profile: an entrepreneurial builder with strong personal initiative; a relationship-driven business developer who is comfortable creating commercial structure around existing technical capabilities and opening new doors; a technically curious commercial leader who can earn the confidence of engineers and executives; and a disciplined operator who follows opportunities through from first conversation to proposal, award, and long-term account development. Initially, the role is expected to be highly hands‑on, with future opportunity to help shape and build additional transmission business development capabilities as the market grows. Operational / Market Development (approximately 75% of day-to‑day activities): Market Development & Origination:

Build and execute CPP’s North American transmission business development plan by market segment, geography, and client type. Personally originate opportunities, open new accounts, and create a sustained qualified pipeline. Service Portfolio Development & Go-to-Market:

Work closely with the CTO and CPP technical leaders to assess CPP’s existing transmission-related capabilities and organize them into a clear, differentiated portfolio of client-facing service offerings. For each offering, define the technical scope, client value proposition, target buyer, applicabl
