• Prepare and review technical reports, calculations, and construction documents
• Ensure deliverables meet regulatory requirements and company quality standards
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior staff and project teams
• Collaborate across disciplines to support complex infrastructure and environmental projects
• Assist with client engagement and business development to expand service offerings
