• Lead the development of detailed construction documents across a range of project types.
• Resolve complex technical and detailing challenges with precision.
• Coordinate across disciplines to ensure seamless integration of systems and constructability.
• Conduct thorough code reviews to ensure compliance with local, state, and national building codes.
