• Operational Influence: Participate in the firm’s leadership development initiatives, contributing to process improvements and strategic efficiencies that drive the studio's success.

• BIM & Technical Precision: Direct the creation of high-fidelity BIM and CAD details, ensuring all calculations and models are accurate, complete, and optimized for performance.

• Interdisciplinary Integration: Collaborate seamlessly with architects, MEP partners, and enforcement agencies to ensure structural systems harmonize with the overall design vision.

• Quality & Fiscal Stewardship: Oversee rigorous QA/QC reviews and manage project budgets and schedules, balancing engineering excellence with business profitability.
