Identify design risks early, including utility conflicts, field constraints, drainage impacts, ROW/access limitations, constructability issues, ADA compliance concerns, and stakeholder-driven design changes
Provide technical direction to roadway engineers, designers, and CADD staff
Perform senior technical review and QA/QC of roadway plans, calculations, details, quantities, and design documentation
Support client coordination, agency reviews, comment resolution, and interdisciplinary design meetings
Develop constructible, standards-compliant roadway solutions in constrained urban, parkway, Federal Lands, and environmentally sensitive settings
Support proposal development, project interviews, staff resumes, project descriptions, and technical approach narratives for roadway/highway opportunities
