• Technical Documentation: Prepare engineering proposals, cost estimates, and scopes of work. Review, mark up, and sign off on construction drawings with a keen eye for constructability.

• Agency Liaison: Navigate interactions with municipalities, regulatory agencies, and owners to ensure all work complies with statutory and safety requirements.
