  • Understand client standards and complete small to moderately complex projects, exercising judgment in design criteria, evaluation, and design, subject to review by engineers.
  • Based upon experience, can perform most design responsibilities without assistance on moderately complex projects, and may work independently, but with some engineering guidance on complex project
  • Communicate with Project Managers, Project Engineers, and client personnel.
