• Maintain compliance with industry standards and safety regulations
• Track and report project milestones and outcomes
• Influence strategic design direction and technical delivery processes

• Expert knowledge of construction methods, materials, and finishes
• Proficient in SketchUp, Layout, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat
• Excellent coordination and project management skills
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Strong communication and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams

What You’ll Gain
