Summary

The Technical Lead is accountable for winning technically sound, executable work for the Solutions Division. The role owns the definition, development, and approval of the technical solution required to secure profitable projects, from early pursuit through budgetary bidding to post‑award technical handoff.

This position serves as the single technical owner of systems‑level solutions during the pursuit phase, responsible for translating client requirements into a complete, defensible systems proposal that supports go/no‑go decisions, firm pricing, and margin lock. The Technical Lead ensures all required technical deliverables are produced, internally aligned, and suitable for contract execution.

This position is not a pure sales role and not a detailed engineering role. It is a senior, systems‑focused technical leadership position with direct responsibility for proposal quality, risk clarity, and technical credibility required to win work.

Candidates for this position may be required to pass pre-employment and periodic screenings, including background checks, drug and alcohol tests, or other necessary assessments.

Post‑Award & Handoff Support

• Support transition from bidding to execution through participation in internal handoff and kickoff meetings.
• Validate technical scope, assumptions, and systems architecture for execution teams.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Work closely with Engineering Team, Rentals and Ops, and AEs to elevate technical quality, consistency, and rigor across pursuits.
