- On-Site Build Leadership: Attend complex site installations to supervise structural construction and ensure the build team fully understands and executes the CAD plans.
- Client Technical Advisory: Attend client briefings and site visits to constructively explain complex technical constraints and structural limitations to non-technical stakeholders.
