- Participate in project planning – including fee management, work plans, and teaming strategies.
- Support project goals by building trusting relationships with an inclusive internal and external project team.
- Take an active role building workplace culture and institutional knowledge through sharing of ideas and information.

- The ability to manage digital design tools and workflows.
- Some exposure to construction oversight.
