You will assist with proposals, technical memoranda, engineering reports, planning studies, cost estimates, approvals, construction contract documents, specifications and drawings. In addition to communicating with clients, sub‑consultants, contractors and regulatory bodies, you will work under the guidance of a project or design manager to develop basic project‑management skills.
