• Collaborate with customer service and sales teams to clarify missing information, resolve discrepancies, and ensure all project details are complete before production.
• After proof approval, develop precise production files optimized for internal fabrication methods, machinery, and workflow requirements.
• Determine the most efficient and effective build approach for each project, considering materials, LED layout, structural needs, and fabrication techniques.
• Maintain consistency and accuracy across all drawings, ensuring they meet brand, compliance, and fabrication standards.
• Support production staff by providing technical clarification, updated drawings, or design revisions when needed.

• Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, and organization in all drawings and documentation.
• Ability to communicate effectively with sales, customer service, and production teams to ensure clarity and completeness of project specifications.
