RESPONSIBILITIES

2. Evaluate roof and building envelope conditions through inspections, assessments, surveys, and technical analysis to support design recommendations.
3. Develop repair, restoration, maintenance, and replacement solutions that align with client objectives, existing conditions, budgets, and industry standards.
4. Prepare project cost estimates for roofing and building envelope work across individual facilities and multi-building portfolios.
5. Manage multiple design assessments simultaneously, prioritizing workload and delivering completed documents within established deadlines.
6. Coordinate with clients, contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, and internal teams to gather project requirements and resolve design-related issues.
7. Present design recommendations, project scope, and technical requirements during client meetings, pre-bid meetings, and project coordination meetings.
8. Maintain accurate project records, schedules, design files, reports, and documentation within company systems and established processes.
9. Review design documents and project information for accuracy, completeness, constructability, and compliance with company standards and client requirements.
10. Identify and communicate project risks, quality concerns, safety considerations, and technical issues that may impact project outcomes or delivery timelines.
