  9. Stakeholder Engagement: Cultivate strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring project alignment with business objectives and seamless execution from start to finish
Skills
  1. Expertise in project management tools: PVSyst, PV SOL, HomerPro, MS Project, and Smartsheet
