From time to time, you may participate in and lead some site visits to project sites to investigate existing conditions and observe construction activities. You will lead some project tasks and assist in creating project documents to prepare a complete, bid-ready Plans, Specification, and Estimate package. You may be designated as the project design lead or support a project design lead and/or project manager in client coordination, sub-consultant coordination, and document review.
