• Managing and coordinating multidisciplinary design consultants across architecture, structural, civil, MEP, transport, and specialist disciplines.
• Driving design reviews, value engineering, constructability reviews, and resolution of key technical and interface issues.

• Strong knowledge of multidisciplinary design coordination and construction interfaces.
• Experience of major parking structures, transport facilities, podiums, complex concrete structures or similar large-scale assets would be highly advantageous.
