Supervise the completion of a desktop review of publicly available data to assess site constraints, utility availability, and environmental impacts.
Coordination with geotechnical subconsultants to meet project and client requirements for subsurface investigations including the number of borings, boring locations, and other geotechnical data as required, such as groundwater monitoring, pump tests, slope stability, seismic risk, or corrosion potentials.
Coordination with survey subconsultants to meet project and client requirements for survey extents, accuracy of the survey required for design, datum and coordinate system, and data to be collected.
Direct the review of survey data and historic record drawings.
Identify and confirm compliance with relevant codes, laws, and permits to ensure regulatory adherence in all tasks performed.
Supervise the preparation and review of existing conditions base mapping.
Preparation of horizontal and vertical alignments.
Design temporary erosion and sediment control as well as construction phasing, staging, and access points.
Complete hydrology and hydraulic calculations for stormwater management design.
Participate in the development of site planning, paving and grading, stormwater management, and yard piping and utilities design elements.
Coordinate with CAD to prepare construction phasing, staging, and access plans, temporary erosion and sediment control plans.
Support the creation of demolition plans, site, paving, grading, and drainage plans, yard piping and utility plans, permanent erosion and sediment control plans, stormwater management calculations and reporting, and parking and vehicle access calculations.
Creation and draft of specifications for temporary erosion and sediment control, existing conditions, demolition, earthwork, exterior improvements, and utilities.
Assist with construction phase services, including Request for Information (RFI) responses, submittal reviews, and change order directives.
Collect vendor data meeting the project requirements.
Support generating cost estimations to include preparing quantity take-offs and collection of vendor data, cutsheets, and quotes.
Flexibility to adapt and execute various additional assignments based on evolving needs.
May provide mentorship, guidance, support, and knowledge-sharing to help less experienced team members develop their skills and grow within their roles.
