• Preparing and reviewing drawings, specifications, and technical deliverables for quality and accuracy
• Developing and maintaining project schedules, ensuring milestones, responsibilities, and expectations are clear
• Coordinating consultants and internal teams to keep workflow predictable and aligned
• Tracking scope, hours, and budgets — identifying changes early to support billing accuracy and prevent surprises
• Supporting construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, site visits, and field reports
• Modeling calm communication, proactive problem-solving, and team alignment
