- Maintain quality control across all design-related deliverables, ensuring alignment with project goals, schedules, and budgets.
- Prepare and coordinate landscape-related requests for proposals, including defining scope, evaluating consultant responses, and supporting consultant selection.
- Assist in establishing, tracking, and maintaining landscape and design-related budgets throughout all project phases.
- Provide integrated design oversight, evaluating architecture, urban design, and landscape execution holistically.
- Conduct site visits to assess overall design implementation and identify issues, coordinating resolution.
- Support permitting, entitlement, and jurisdictional review processes related to site and design scopes.
- Contribute to design development through sketches, diagrams, layouts, and graphic presentations.
- Produce and review visual materials including concept sketches, presentation boards, site diagrams, and design narratives.
- Assist in specifying materials, finishes, planting palettes, site furnishings, and site and landscape lighting.
- Respond to RFIs, submittals, and field conditions, providing timely and design-conscious solutions.
- Present design concepts, progress updates, and technical strategies to internal leadership and external stakeholders.
- Mentor junior designers and support design standards related to documentation, graphics, and coordination workflows.
- Provide ongoing design progress updates and cost-related input, including quantity takeoffs, value engineering ideas, and risk mitigation strategies.
