• Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation, including revision tracking and sign-off approvals.

• Monitor quality standards to ensure final outputs meet both company and client expectations.

• Identify project risks and elevate issues where required.

• Continuously contribute to the improvement of design processes and team workflows.
