• Where required, support lightweight connections to Salesforce or other CRM tools so customer and project data stays consistent with NetSuite as the system of record for ERP.

Technical Support and Optimization

• Troubleshoot and resolve defects, script governance and performance issues, integration failures, and user-reported problems in the NetSuite environment.
• Optimize existing scripts, workflows, searches, and roles to improve usability, speed, and data quality for electrical project teams and management.

• Work with stakeholders in project management, accounting, pre-construction, operations, and leadership to gather requirements and translate them into technical designs.
• Recommend how NetSuite can reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency in the electrical contracting business.
