• Collaborate with other engineers and consultants to integrate systems and equipment into comprehensive engineering solutions.
• Research materials, technologies, and regulatory requirements to support the design process and ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Participate in client and team meetings, presenting design updates and providing technical input on engineering solutions.
• Conduct site visits or inspections to gather data, evaluate project conditions, or assist with construction administration as needed.
• Assist in quality control by reviewing engineering deliverables for accuracy and adherence to project goals and company standards.
