• Lead and coordinate project teams, including Project Engineers and BIM/modeling staff, by assigning responsibilities, establishing priorities, and ensuring efficient project execution.
• Provide technical leadership in structural analysis, design, modeling, and constructability while ensuring compliance with engineering standards and project requirements.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, contractors, fabricators, and consultants, maintaining strong relationships and facilitating effective multidisciplinary coordination.
• Identify and mitigate project risks related to technical challenges, staffing, schedules, budgets, and scope changes while keeping the Project Executive informed of key developments.
• Oversee quality assurance, quality control, and construction-phase services, including design reviews, RFIs, submittals, field conditions, and engineering revisions.
• Mentor and develop junior engineering and project management staff while supporting business development, technical standards, and continuous improvement of Apex's engineering and project delivery processes.
• Lead structural coordination with architects, MEP/FP consultants, contractors, fabricators, and other project participants and facilitate resolution of multidisciplinary coordination issues.
• Review architectural, MEP/FP, and other discipline documents to understand project requirements, identify structural impacts and coordination issues, and ensure those items are addressed by the project team.
• Support continuous improvement of Apex's project management, engineering, QA/QC, and project delivery processes.
