This role focuses on project scoping, feasibility, constructability, budgeting, preliminary scheduling, and light drafting. While this position does not manage people, it plays a key role in driving process discipline and cross-functional alignment throughout the pre-construction phase. The individual will also support project documentation, image-based scoping, and maintain digital site drawing records for concept development and decision-making.

"This role defines how we build well before we ever start construction. If you enjoy planning, analyzing site conditions, and enabling execution – this role belongs to you."
