• Develop design criteria, material specifications, construction specifications, and engineering deliverables that meet applicable codes, standards, and client requirements
• Review, seal, and maintain the quality of engineering deliverables while supporting continuous improvement of engineering standards and practices
• Manage project schedules, budgets, utilization, and engineering performance while reporting progress, risks, and forecasts to senior leadership
• Build and maintain strong client relationships while supporting business development and identifying new opportunities
• Conduct site visits, field reviews, and technical meetings with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary project teams as required
