-    Prepare roadway designs using MDOT SHA, MDTA, and local jurisdiction standards, as well as applicable AASHTO criteria.

-    Develop plans from conceptual through final design including geometrics, maintenance of traffic, traffic control, and roadway drainage consistent with Maryland design manuals and specifications.

-    Develop 3D models that comply with MDOT SHA and other agency design standards while integrating designs from other disciplines into a cohesive model.

-    Prepare specifications, engineer's estimates, bid packages, and supporting engineering reports.

-    Coordinate daily with multi‑discipline teams (drainage, structures, traffic, public involvement, environmental).

-    Support plan quality reviews and participate in value engineering studies.

-    Lead and coordinate work of design engineers and technicians; ensure schedules and budgets are maintained.
