- Coordinate closely with survey, utility locating, tunneling, and construction teams to ensure safe underground work and prevent utility conflicts.
- Develop and maintain civil design standards, QA/QC processes, and best practices.
- Collaborate daily with construction, mechanical, electrical, and tunneling teams to resolve field issues and keep projects moving.
- Interface with local jurisdictions, permitting agencies, consultants, and contractors to support approvals and compliance.
- Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to engineers and designers without direct people management responsibility.
