‘Each day brings a new challenge’
‘My job involves selling all Itron’s electricity products and services into the territory I am responsible for. This entails building strong, longterm customer relationships and delivering value both to our customers through Itron’s offerings and internally within Itron’s local business unit. Change is the only constant at Itron. Each day brings a new challenge. I find it challenging to keep my customers’ needs contained to Itron’s offerings and making Itron’s offerings applicable to unique customer needs. The type of person who thrives at Itron is a positive self-starter who loves learning, embraces change and can work independently within a supportive team environment.’
