- Manage consultant coordination (MEP, structural, civil, landscape) and ensure integration and quality control.
- Conduct zoning analysis, DOB/UCC code reviews, building department research, DRC (Development Review Commission) submissions, and HPC packages.
- Lead planning board, zoning board, and HPC presentations—including preparation of drawings, exhibits, and narratives.
- Conduct site visits, field narrative reports, and documentation of existing conditions.
- Oversee construction administration including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, change orders, punch lists, and close‑out.
- Must have a knowledge and understanding of AIA documents.
- Mentor junior staff and guide project teams in efficient design, drafting, and BIM workflows.
- Coordinate project schedules, milestones, and deliverable deadlines in alignment with firm‑wide project management systems.
