The Team Lead provides technical, consulting, and operational leadership for a team of Solutions Architects and Solutions Estimators supporting the GCDC vertical.

On a day‑to‑day basis, the role partners closely with sales leadership, architects, general contractors, customers, and internal delivery teams to prioritize opportunities, manage risk, mentor technical staff, improve processes, and ensure solutions are technically sound, scalable, and positioned to win.
