Assess site-adaptation considerations, including site access, grading, drainage, foundations, structural support, utilities, grounding, conduit and cable routing, and constructability.
Develop and review requirements, site surveys, design packages, drawings, construction specifications, product submittals, installation plans, test plans, and verification records.
Coordinate with RF, network, mechanical, electrical, software, facilities, security, construction, and subcontractor teams to resolve site-integration issues.
Support design reviews, field assessments, installation readiness reviews, construction oversight, system integration, verification, and customer acceptance activities.
Manage technical risks, schedule dependencies, configuration changes, and requirements traceability related to site infrastructure and communication-system deployment.
Communicate technical status, decisions, and risks to internal leadership, customers, and external partners.
Administer the submittal review pipeline, clarify design through RFIs, and verify structural quality through special inspection reports.
Review contractor deliverables, coordinate special inspections, and verify that civil infrastructure designs meet federal and military facility criteria.
