  • Regularly communicate with project stakeholders, including the Discipline Team Lead, Workshare team, Client, and Project Engineer/Manager, regarding design progress, budget, technical aspects, quality, and resource planning.
  • Establish and manage relationships with installation contractors, subcontractors, vendors, site teams, and clients.

    • Coordinate change control processes and technical inquiries within the discipline
    • Monitor and report progress on deliverables, resolve technical issues, maintain files, and follow established processes
