• Multidisciplinary Coordination: Synthesize and streamline communications between clients, surveyors, architects, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure cohesive project execution.

• Quality Assurance: Conduct meticulous reviews of construction plans, technical specifications, and engineering reports to enforce top-tier quality control standards.

• Elite Mentorship: Act as a technical mentor to junior engineers and CAD designers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and operational excellence.

• Field Command: Conduct rigorous site visits to provide technical resolution during construction administration, ensuring the physical execution matches engineering intent.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Georgia.
