• Manage design inputs, assumptions, dependencies, and technical decisions across concurrent work packages.
• Coordinate with the client, contractors, vendors, and consultants to resolve design interfaces and maintain alignment with requirements.

Technical Coordination and Quality

• Facilitate interdisciplinary reviews and identify clashes, gaps, constructability issues, and incomplete design interfaces before release.
• Work with discipline leads to confirm technical ownership, appropriate review and checking, and closure of review comments.
• Maintain design decision, action, interface, and deliverable registers with clear accountability and due dates.
• Support phased issuance, design revisions, RFIs, and construction-stage coordination while maintaining document traceability.

Schedule, Resources and Change

• Monitor design production progress against agreed package schedules and flag constraints early.
• Coordinate discipline capacity, inputs from distributed teams, and timely specialist engagement with the Senior Project Manager.
• Identify scope changes, rework, and schedule impacts and promptly elevate them for project and commercial evaluation.
• Provide concise design status reporting, highlighting upcoming deliverables, unresolved decisions, risks, and recovery actions.

Team Collaboration
