- Develop and review engineering calculations, design narratives, and technical documentation to support project deliverables.
- Oversee and coordinate structural drawings produced in Revit and AutoCAD, ensuring consistency with design intent and quality standards.
- Collaborate closely with architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines to resolve design challenges and integrate structural solutions.
- Participate in site visits and field observations, providing technical input during construction and addressing field questions as they arise.
