  • Produce redline markups and as-built drawings based on field conditions and change orders, and support projects across full lifecycle: sales, design, pre-construction, construction, and post-mortem
  • Maintain organized drawing files electronically, while coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and reviewing drawings for constructability and code compliance
  • Research and develop graphical presentation materials, as needed, while contributing to process improvements, drafting standards, and developing new drafting specifications
  • Develop positive relationships with sales operations, project managers, site surveyors, and project designers; may lead, direct, and mentor associate staff
