Drive Operational Excellence: Build and maintain utilization models to quantify exactly how our technicians spend their time. Automate Everything: Use your Python mastery and VBA macros to eliminate manual workflows.

Excel + VBA (Required): Advanced Excel plus ability to record and write macros (VBA) for automation and repeatable reporting. Experience working with ERP/CRM datasets (SAP, Navision, Epicor, Salesforce or similar). Ability to translate data into executive-ready insights and clear recommendations (not just reporting).
