  • Perform calculations for angles, tolerances, clearances, weights, layouts, and opening locations.
  • Work cross‑functionally to align design development with project schedules.
  • Develop workflows bridging CAD to CAM to streamline fabrication and installation processes.
  • Collaborate closely with the VDC Project Lead and Project Superintendent to ensure coordinated, strategy‑aligned outputs.
