• Identify design conflicts, schedule risks, utility impacts, access constraints, and potential construction inefficiencies.
• Collaborate with design engineers, project managers, construction teams, contractors, and agency stakeholders to develop practical solutions.
• Provide recommendations to improve constructability, safety, quality, maintainability, and cost‑effectiveness.
• Participate in design reviews at various project milestones, including 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design stages.
• Evaluate right‑of‑way constraints, environmental commitments, utility relocations, drainage considerations, and permitting requirements.
• Review and validate construction schedules and sequencing assumptions.
• Assist in value engineering efforts and alternative technical concept evaluations.
• Prepare detailed constructability review reports, documenting findings, recommendations, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Support procurement and contractor pre‑bid activities by addressing constructability‑related questions.
• Coordinate with owners, public agencies, contractors, utility companies, and consulting teams.

• Knowledge of transportation design standards, specifications, and construction practices.
• Experience with utility coordination, maintenance of traffic (MOT), and construction phasing.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.

• 15+ years of transportation infrastructure experience.
• Experience with large‑scale DOT programs and alternative delivery methods (Design‑Build, CM/GC, Progressive Design‑Build).
