• Perform field investigations, site walkdowns, field verification, quantity take-offs, and existing condition assessments for renovation, retrofit, and brownfield projects.
• Prepare and review design documents at SD, DD, CD, FEL, detailed design, and IFC levels, ensuring appropriate scope, quality, and level of detail.
• Develop technical specifications aligned with project requirements, client standards, and applicable codes.
• Coordinate with internal disciplines including mechanical, instrumentation, controls, civil, and structural teams.
• Communicate effectively with architects, engineers, contractors, vendors, and client representatives.
• Respond to RFIs in a timely manner and review contractor submittals for accuracy and compliance with design intent.
• Conduct and participate in site visits, construction coordination meetings, and project meetings.
• Prepare site reports, technical documentation, engineering reports, and project records.
• Support construction administration, startup, commissioning, and field troubleshooting activities as required.
• Support project schedules, deliverables, and client coordination efforts.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications
