  • Prepare engineering reports, grading plans, drainage designs, pavement specs, and utility layouts.

  • Stay up to date with local, state, and federal regulations, ensuring every project meets compliance from start to finish.

  • Analyze and improve project processes through value engineering and design innovation.

  • Help maintain momentum across multiple projects by coordinating internal teams, securing resources, and maintaining timelines.
