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 Fin Ops 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.

• Serve as the internal owner of the Azure environment from a governance, control, and oversight perspective

• Own Azure cloud cost governance, reporting, forecasting, and accountability
• Implement Fin Ops discipline across tagging, allocation, chargeback/showback, and cost transparency
• Review and challenge cloud spend, vendor invoices, and subscription usage
• Drive optimization strategies including rightsizing, reservations, license management, and waste reduction
• Partner with finance and leadership to forecast spend and align cloud investment with business priorities
• Provide full visibility into combined Azure + managed service provider costs

• Partner with engineering teams to understand workflow needs and ensure cloud services support their requirements
• Translate engineering needs into requirements for the MSP and Azure platform governance model
• Ensure Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and related services meet performance, access, and usability expectations
• Validate that engineering workloads (including GPU and specialized applications) are properly supported through vendor execution
