JORDAN HAM
Phoenix,AZ
Summary
I have over 8 years of direct experience as a transmission planning engineer. With my experience at a public utility, an innovative grid technology startup, and as a consulting engineer, I am confident in both my understanding of transmission planning and my ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, remote environment. Over the past several years, I have pursued other interests, leading a basketball analytics team and building a brewery. The skills I've developed in these pursuits operating under pressure, working independently, learning new skills, and building personal connections will allow me to thrive in a startup environment.
