• Identify and help resolve design issues (interferences, grading conflicts, system layout problems, wiring inconsistencies, etc.) and support clash/coordination reviews across disciplines.
• Perform thorough self-checks of drawings, apply client and company standards consistently, and ensure completeness, accuracy, and constructability of issued deliverables.
