Identify coordination conflicts, technical risks, and unresolved issues and help drive them toward resolution.
Lead or actively contribute to multidisciplinary coordination meetings.
Perform building code, accessibility, life safety, zoning, and regulatory analyses.
Develop technical details, assemblies, and specifications.
Review drawing sets for quality, consistency, constructability, and coordination.
Guide junior staff and provide clear direction and constructive feedback.

Strong verbal, graphic, and written communication skills.
Ability to mentor or guide junior staff.
