• Apply a thorough understanding of building codes and material specifications to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant designs.
• Collaborate with architects during the design process to coordinate structural systems with architectural and other disciplines.
• Work closely with contractors during construction to support coordination with project requirements and address design-related questions.
• Review design assumptions, calculations, and drawings with attention to detail and strong problem-solving skills.
• Manage a strong workload across multiple projects, typically lasting between three to six months, while meeting deadlines and quality standards.
• Communicate effectively with internal team members and external stakeholders to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Engage in ongoing learning and hands-on training to enhance technical skills and contribute to the growth of the organization.
