• Prepare Engineering documents, evaluations, and calculations.
• Perform routine administrative activities/duties on time (routine training, safety meetings, TIS, continuing training, staff meetings).
• Ensure all documents prepared are of "stand alone" quality.
• Seek to understand engineering work assignments and to be self-directed.
• Be customer service oriented, completing assignments safely, on time, and within budget.
• Provide technical guidance to subcontractors in the execution of design (e.g., ensure use of correct design inputs, utilization of accepted analysis methodologies, design standards, and verification methods).
