  • Support construction-phase services: respond to RFIs, review submittals, conduct field inspections, issue punch lists, and prepare site visit reports.
  • Participate in value engineering, feasibility studies, and system evaluations for renovation and new construction projects.

Quality & Compliance:

  • Maintain compliance with firm-wide QA/QC procedures.
  • Review design deliverables for technical accuracy, constructability, and regulatory compliance.
