• Provide field review services during rehabilitation and renewal projects, including site meetings, mock-up reviews, deficiency reporting, and site instructions.
• Review shop drawings, specifications, and material submittals for conformance with project intent, codes, and building science principles.
• Support builders and developers by advising on construction methods, addressing deficiencies, and assisting with building performance–related claims.
• Guide and mentor junior staff through report reviews, technical oversight, and professional development.
• Participate in proposal development, including scope definition, resourcing, and fee estimates, and contribute to business development through client relationships and industry engagement.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support project execution, quality assurance, and overall team performance.
