• Build systems & controls that scale with growth (multi-program, multi-site).

Why This Role:

• Seat at the table: Advise the CEO on cash, planning, and operational strategy during multi-site expansion.
• Lifestyle & value: Onsite in the Tri-Cities—sunny, affordable, and family-friendly with an outdoor culture.
