• Lead coordination with contractors, clients, and third-party stakeholders to address MOT design, phasing, and implementation issues
• Support major pursuits by leading MOT sections of proposals, interviews, and alternative technical concept development
• Provide high-level technical guidance, mentoring, and performance feedback to MOT staff
