- Coordinating designers, partners and delivery teams to resolve technical issues and unblock progress

- Leading technical reviews, assurance activities and maintaining audit-ready technical records

- Driving CDM-aligned design risk management and constructability / buildability input

- Supporting scopes, specifications, deliverables and review criteria
