- Manage RFIs, submittals, and design changes during construction.
- Act as the main design contact for clients, internal leadership, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and utility providers.
- Work with construction managers, commissioning agents, and operations teams so designs are buildable, testable, and maintainable.
