Coordination Oversight: Review the coordination between architectural, structural, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and all other consultant designed systems to identify clashes, clarify coordination, and eliminate errors.

Mentorship: Provide mentorship and training to junior and intermediate staff regarding technical design, code compliance, and detailing.

Risk Mitigation: Actively identify, communicate, and mitigate risks in documentation to reduce liability and prevent costly rework during construction.

Lessons Learned: Document lessons learned from construction administration (RFI, submittal reviews) and project close-outs to update firm standards.

License: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture, and a valid Architect license (Registered Architect) is preferred.

Experience: 10+ years of experience in architectural design, construction documents, and construction administration.
