• Support Project Managers and Project Executives with the planning, coordination, and execution of larger or more complex projects.
• Perform structural analysis and design, including complex engineering assignments, while balancing technical work with increasing project management responsibilities.
• Plan and coordinate structural engineering activities necessary to meet project deliverables and communicate priorities and assignments to engineering and BIM/modeling team members.
• Provide technical direction and guidance to Project Engineers and BIM/modeling team members and assist with resolving engineering, detailing, and coordination questions.
• Review engineering calculations, analysis models, structural drawings, and other project deliverables for technical accuracy, consistency, completeness, and conformance with Apex standards.
• Coordinate structural requirements with architects, MEP/FP consultants, contractors, fabricators, and other project participants and facilitate resolution of coordination issues affecting the structural design.
• Participate actively in external project meetings and communicate structural design, coordination items, required information, and project status with clients and other project participants.

• Develop an understanding of project scope and fee and assist the Project Manager or Project Executive with monitoring project performance, additional services, and changes in scope.
• Assist with the development of project scopes, fee proposals, schedules, and resource plans for new and existing projects.
• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with clients through responsive communication, professionalism, technical competence, and consistent project execution.
• Provide day-to-day technical guidance to Project Engineer I, II, and III team members and assist with their continued technical and professional development.
• Participate in project QA/QC processes and help ensure Apex's engineering standards, design procedures, documentation requirements, and project delivery processes are consistently followed.
• Participate in Apex Technical Advisory Groups and contribute to the continued development of engineering standards, design tools, technical resources, workflows, and lessons learned.
