Proposal & bid management: prepare proposals, cost estimates, and technical responses; analyze contract specifications, risk, financial impact, and scheduling considerations; negotiate pricing and terms that align with corporate growth goals. Relationship management: build senior‑level relationships with utility vegetation‑management executives, public‑utility commissions, fire‑protection agencies, and community stakeholders to position WCTS for repeat business.

Safety culture: implement and audit safety programs consistent with OSHA and ANSI Z133; ensure crews use certified arborists and utility specialists.

Integrated vegetation management: promote best practices (e.g., risk‑based inspections, LiDAR and aerial patrols, hazard tree removal) and adopt technology for work planning and data management. Liberty Utilities' vegetation program uses LiDAR and remote sensing and employs ISA‑certified arborists to inspect, prune, and remove trees for power‑line clearance.

Demonstrated success in securing multi‑year contracts with investor‑owned utilities or public agencies in California. Experience with P&L management and contract negotiation.
