Conducting construct-ability reviews and working with PMs on estimates, take-offs, and change orders
Ensuring full compliance with MOTI BC specs, project contracts, and safety procedures
Collaborating with Project Coordinators and Managers on schedules, costing, and overall project value
Supporting project delivery for a variety of structures, including highway bridges, transit, and port infrastructure
