•       Develop scopes of work, material specifications, and construction specifications to support the overall execution of projects.

•       Ensure peer reviews are completed, checking and sealing processes, and contribute to internal engineering standards, templates and work practices.

•       Review and seal final design prints.

•       Manage and track cost and schedule of engineering deliverables, monitor team utilization, and report progress, risks and forecasts to senior management as required.

•       Act as a technical point of contact for clients on assigned projects, maintaining strong relationships and identifying further opportunities.

•       Participate in technical meetings with other disciplines, contractors, or customers.
