- Leading teaming strategy for Department of War and other federal agency opportunities by translating procurement and solicitation criteria into competitive designer-led subcontract, joint-venture, or other teaming structures.

- Working with federal CSLs on maintaining a qualified pipeline of federal alternative delivery opportunities, prime contractor targets, relationship status, teaming decisions, and next actions.

- Tracking federal agency movement toward accelerated delivery methods and aligning pursuit resources with prime contractor interest, capacity, and probability of award.

- Identifying and resolving the operational friction points between the General Contractor and the architect-engineer team during design validation, constructability review, cost reconciliation, and development of the target price or Guaranteed Maximum Price.

- Serving as the senior relationship and capture lead through teaming agreement execution and transition to the pursuit and delivery teams.

- Demonstrated success developing executive-level relationships and converting those relationships into teaming agreements, defined scopes of work, and pursuit commitments.

- Practical knowledge of design risk, cost validation, constructability, schedule integration, and budget reconciliation during the progressive design and preconstruction phases.
