  • Expertise applying accessibility, building, and life-safety codes across complex healthcare project types.
  • Advanced proficiency in BIM workflows and collaborative project delivery.
  • Proficiency with Revit, Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, Newforma, and Bluebeam; familiarity with emerging modeling and visualization tools is a plus.
  • Ability to manage workload across multiple projects and meet critical deadlines.
  • Possess a valid driver's license with a good driving record.
