- Establish client relationships, and be involved with marketing, contractual, design and production meetings
- Participate in reviews with various governing agencies for compliance
- Conduct work sessions for design development and contract documents in conjunction with other staff
- Coordinate workload through entire project development, and ensure completion of documents on schedule
- Track financial aspects of projects, and coordinate and adjust work effort with team to ensure that work is completed within parameters of agreed-to schedule
