  • Conduct in-depth structural analysis using advanced software tools, from preliminary concepts through detailed final designs.
  • Develop and deliver complete construction packages, including drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, for both internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Visit job sites to inspect existing infrastructure, assess feasibility, and verify proper installation of structural systems in alignment with design intent.
  • Stay current on evolving building codes, safety standards, and engineering best practices to enhance quality and compliance.
