- Coordinate technical submissions, RFIs, design changes and design information throughout project delivery.
- Work closely with project and commercial teams to ensure designs are buildable and support successful project delivery.
- Maintain strong relationships with clients and stakeholders, providing clear and effective communication throughout the design process.
