The role is primarily a new-logo and early-stage relationship-development position: building access to targeted investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, and electric cooperatives; understanding how each client buys; identifying the right entry point; and creating qualified opportunities that can grow into long-term strategic accounts. This role works as part of a coordinated commercial team. The Business Development Director leads relationship creation and early opportunity development, while Strategic Account Management focuses on expanding established strategic accounts. Seller-doers, technical leaders, executive sponsors, estimating, and Sales Operations are brought into pursuits at the right time. Success requires disciplined prioritization - focusing resources on the utility accounts where Atwell and NEI have an attractive market opportunity, a credible right to win, and a clear path to meaningful work. Salary Range: $175,000-$225,000 / year The salary range above is based upon the Denver, Colorado labor market.

supporting appropriate profitability and pursuit discipline.</li> <li>Build meaningful relationships and executive access within a defined portfolio of priority utility targets rather than broadly pursuing every available opportunity.</li> <li>Create and execute account-entry plans for assigned targets, including relationship maps, buying centers, procurement pathways, incumbent providers,

to pursue it.</li> <li>Develop relationships across multiple levels of the client organization, including business leaders, engineering, project/program leadership, procurement, and other key influencers.</li> <li>Use existing Atwell and NEI relationships, referrals, executive sponsors, seller-doers, industry contacts, and market networks to accelerate access to target accounts.</li> <li>Qualify opportunities before significant pursuit resources are committed, considering strategic fit, relationship strength, client need, funding, timing, competitive position, delivery capacity, profitability, and probability of win.</li> <li>Coordinate with Strategic Account Managers when a developing relationship reaches the point where the primary growth motion shifts from market entry to systematic account expansion.</li> <li>Partner with utility technical leaders and seller-doers to establish technical credibility and translate client needs into solutions across transmission, substations, distribution, system studies, field services, land, environmental, permitting, and other relevant Atwell capabilities.</li> <li>Identify opportunities to bring multiple Atwell capabilities to the client while maintaining one coordinated client experience.</li> <li>Maintain an accurate, current view of assigned accounts, relationships, opportunities, next actions, and expected timing in the CRM.</li> <li>Provide realistic pipeline and order intake forecasts and proactively communicate changes, risks, and resource needs.</li> <li>Capture market intelligence including capital programs, procurement cycles, MSAs and vendor qualification requirements, competitive dynamics, client priorities, and emerging utility needs.</li> <li>Represent the organization at targeted industry events and client meetings where participation directly supports priority-account development.</li> <li>Work with Sales Operations, estimating, pursuit support, and marketing to ensure opportunities move through a consistent commercial process from qualification through proposal and handoff.</li> </ul> <h1>How Success Will Be Measured</h1> <ul> <li>Order intake and qualified pipeline created from assigned utility targets.</li> <li>Progress penetrating priority new-logo accounts, including meaningful relationships, executive access, vendor/MSA qualification, and first opportunities.</li> <li>Quality and depth of relationship coverage within assigned accounts, not simply number of contacts or meetings.</li> <li>Conversion of early-stage targets into qualified pursuits, first wins, and ultimately strategic accounts.</li> <li>Forecast accuracy, CRM discipline, and clear next actions across the assigned portfolio.</li> <li>Pursuit selectivity and efficient use of technical and estimating resources.</li> <li>Collaboration across Power & Energy and the broader Atwell platform, including successful cross-service opportunities</li> </ul> <h1>Requirements</h1> <ul> <li>Demonstrated success developing business with electric utilities, preferably investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities, and/or electric cooperatives.</li> <li>Established utility-industry relationships and the ability to create credible access to senior decision-makers are strongly preferred.</li> <li>Working knowledge of how utilities plan, procure, qualify vendors, establish MSAs, fund capital programs, and award engineering or construction-related work.</li> <li>Ability to understand client needs and credibly coordinate technical discussions involving transmission, substations, distribution, interconnection, system studies, grid modernization, and related infrastructure.</li> <li>Strong commercial judgment with the discipline to prioritize the right accounts and opportunities rather than simply maximize bid volume.</li> <li>Ability to build trust across commercial and technical teams and work effectively in a seller-doer culture.</li> <li>Excellent communication, relationship-building, facilitation, and executive-presence skills.</li> <li>Self-motivated, organized, accountable, and comfortable operating in a
