• Utilize drawings, specifications, photographs, and other information to support projects to assess and improve site and building security.
• Review and provide comments on deliverables for analysis, design, and construction projects.
• Coordinate with program managers to develop, maintain, and update the program’s strategy, budgeting, scheduling, and planning documents, as well as documentation of meetings and past activities.
• Engage and communicate with internal and external stakeholders, third-party contractors, and other government agencies to plan and execute design and construction projects.
• Coordinate with program managers to develop Scopes of Work (SOWs) and prepare contract packages for future acquisitions.
• Develop, organize, and manage files and documents.
• Conduct independent research on project needs, including but not limited to:
• Historical events related to the construction project.
• Market research for products that support the agency mission.
• Market research for suppliers that provide architectural, engineering, and/or fabrication services that support the agency mission.
