- Manage tracking of, and advocate for, design issues through initial submission to closeout and implementation
- Assist with internal schedule updates and projections for work relating to DC efforts
- Use and develop parametric modeling techniques (Autodesk Revit), and assist DC team with enhancements to create efficiencies in fabrication-level modeling, with respect to cost/schedule and mitigation of detailing/fabrication errors on current/future projects
- Utilize Revit as tool to create clear and organized progression drawing sets (RFI, internal team review, AE review, and field review)
- Continuously enhance knowledge and expertise in 2D/3D model review via Navisworks, Revit Schedules, and review of current global/shared parameters
- Lead/assist with CNC exports for machine language, develop proficiency in modeling (tooling, cut sequence/path, performance, tolerance)
- Manage model transfer and process to Fabrication Team
- Manage fabrication-based app integration and setup
- Further develop understanding of schedule process within DC team and its broader impact on early pre-con efforts, manufacturing, fabrication sequence, and install
- Perform CNC cut testing review/QC as it relates to machine time and quality.
- Provide actionable feedback to DC and Pre-Con teams using research and data as built from previous fabrication efforts
- Partner with internal project team, A/E team, suppliers, other trades, and vendors on constructability. Manage documentation of all partner meetings and action items
- Lead QC and review/coordination with dissimilar trades, as well as Clash resolution.
- Utilize structural material knowledge to refine and drive DC detailing efforts and practices.
- Assist senior team members with constructive feedback loops to structural and architectural consultants to enhance future projects
- Advocate ownership goals, architectural visual intent, and Timberlab fab/install; work to interpret these goals during early pre-con efforts (internal/external)
- Stay abreast to standards and continuously thrive to develop and improve our design/detailing standards
- Lead/assist with developing internal and external technical marketing materials
- Other responsibilities as assigned
