• Provide technical expertise across Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems.
• Support design modularization strategies to improve scalability and construction efficiency.
• Collaborate with General Contractors to review field conditions, provide constructability feedback, and support issue resolution.
• Review and manage field documentation and design coordination workflows.
• Contribute to turnover planning, commissioning sequencing, and project delivery optimization.
• Apply best practices for MEP value clearing and design optimization.
• Work within digital construction environments utilizing industry platforms.
