Bring Your Energy Relationships, Experience, and Vision. Build What’s Next at Connico.

Connico is seeking an accomplished nuclear/Energy leader to build and lead our national Energy Practice, initially focused on commercial nuclear and advanced nuclear. This is a rare opportunity for someone who has already developed meaningful industry relationships, market credibility, and technical expertise and is ready to use that experience to help shape a new practice with lasting impact. You will help determine the clients we pursue, opportunities we prioritize, capabilities we develop, work we deliver, and ultimately the team that supports the Practice. This is a true seller-doer and practice-building role: someone who can develop relationships and create business while remaining closely connected to the successful leadership and delivery of the work.

Why Connico? Why This Opportunity?

Connico offers an unusual combination: the opportunity to build and shape a new practice within an established, financially stable national consulting firm, with experienced technical resources, an existing client base, and a strong backlog of client work already in place. You will have direct access to executive leadership and meaningful influence over the clients we pursue, the opportunities we prioritize, the capabilities we develop, and the future team supporting the Practice. At Connico, leadership is close to the work and individual impact is visible. Our culture combines high expectations and accountability with collaboration, professional growth, respect for people, and recognition that work is not the only thing that matters. For the right person, this is a chance to turn the relationships, credibility, and experience you’ve built over your career into a defining next chapter - one where the work reflects your ideas, judgment, and leadership.

What You’ll Own

• Build and expand trusted relationships with Energy-sector clients, partners, industry leaders, and senior decision-makers.
• Use market knowledge and existing relationships to identify client needs, open strategic opportunities, and develop profitable business.
• Build and manage a qualified opportunity pipeline and develop strategic accounts.
• Lead pursuits, scope development, proposals, pricing strategy, interviews, and negotiations.
• Help shape Connico’s Energy-market strategy and determine where the Practice should focus, invest, and grow.
• Build the capabilities, partnerships, resources, and eventually the dedicated team needed to support sustainable growth.
• Lead Energy engagements from scope development through successful execution.
• Personally contribute within your technical areas of expertise while leveraging Connico’s multidisciplinary resources.
• Lead client and executive discussions and confidently explain and defend approaches, findings, risks, and recommendations.
• Maintain accountability for Practice growth, financial performance, client outcomes, delivery quality, and long-term capability development.

What You Bring

• Significant credibility within commercial nuclear, advanced nuclear, or closely related Energy infrastructure.
• Established Energy-sector relationships with relevant decision-makers and evidence of using trusted relationships to create opportunities, grow accounts, advance strategic initiatives, or otherwise contribute to business growth.
• Experience building or materially expanding a market, practice, team, capability, client portfolio, service, or business initiative.
• Strong Project Controls or major-project credibility, with deep expertise in at least one relevant technical area and sufficient breadth to lead multidisciplinary work.
• Strong client leadership, business judgment, communication, negotiation, and executive presence.
• Ability to operate entrepreneurially while collaborating across an established organization.
• Ability and willingness to travel as needed to develop relationships, pursue opportunities, support clients, and represent Connico.
• Must reside in the United States.

We care more about what you have built, led, delivered, influenced, and the relationships you have developed than a specific number of years of experience or a particular current title.

Compensation

The anticipated base salary range for this position is $175,000–$225,000, depending on the combination and depth of Energy-industry relationships, business-development capability, practice-building experience, technical leadership, and other job-related qualifications. In addition to base salary, this position includes a significant performance-based bonus opportunity, with the potential for additional compensation to grow as Connico’s Energy Practice develops.
