• Maintain organized, auditable calculation packages and design assumptions suitable for review.

BIM Coordination

• Work closely with the BIM modelling team to develop high-accuracy structural models suitable for manufacturing.
• Review models for constructability, member sizing, dimensional accuracy, and correct representation of connections and hardware.
• Identify and resolve clashes and interference issues with architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components early in the model.
• Support the continuous improvement of standard details, component libraries, and modelling conventions.

Drawing & Submittal Review

• Carry out detailed review of manufacturing and shop drawings for conformance with the structural design, standard details, and applicable codes.
• Perform detailed review of truss layout and truss design drawings, including bearing conditions, girder locations, reactions, uplift, and load transfer into supporting structure.
• Review floor and roof framing layouts, engineered wood product (EWP) placement plans, and connection hardware schedules.
• Track and document review comments, resubmittals, and their resolution.

Coordination and Support

• Work with the manufacturing/plant team, estimating, and site personnel to resolve field questions.
• Support value engineering and material optimization exercises.
• Contribute to internal design standards, checklists, and lessons-learned documentation.
