- Oversee project schedules, deliverables, and quality control efforts.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and design staff.
- Participate in client meetings and develop long-term professional relationships.
- Prepare and review calculations, technical reports, construction documents, and engineering deliverables.
