About This Role
Supervisor, Cloud Engineer
Office: 10000 Energy Drive, Spring TX 77389
Travel: 20–30% domestically
QISG is a leading EPC company delivering engineering, procurement, and construction solutions for utilities and renewable energy projects.
QISG is seeking a Supervisor, Cloud Engineer with strong Microsoft Azure expertise and deep experience supporting or governing Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments. This role focuses on overseeing delivery of cloud-hosted virtual desktop services — managing outcomes, user experience, and vendor performance of a managed AVD environment rather than performing day-to-day administration.
In addition, this role acts as a strategic cloud partner to engineering teams, working directly with them to understand workflows, remove technical friction, and design cloud-first solutions that improve how engineering work gets done. You will evaluate Azure services, build proof-of-concepts, and drive modernization initiatives that enable more efficient, scalable engineering operations.
A key responsibility is Cloud FinOps ownership — establishing financial governance, improving cost transparency, and driving optimization across Azure environments to ensure maximum value from cloud investment.
This role is focused on overseeing our cloud vendor and managing Azure governance, networking, access, and costs—not hands-on development or a people management position.
What You'll Do
Cloud Platform Governance (Azure Ownership)
