Day-to-Day

In this role, you’ll support the planning, design, and execution of site, landscape, and civil infrastructure projects for advanced manufacturing and operational facilities. On a daily basis, you’ll work across multiple projects from early concept development through construction, contributing to schematic design, design development, and construction documentation. You’ll collaborate closely with senior engineers, landscape architects, project managers, and cross-functional internal teams, as well as external consultants, contractors, vendors, and permitting authorities, to support integrated project delivery.

Your responsibilities will include developing and reviewing plans, calculations, specifications, narratives, and digital models related to site layout, grading, drainage, utilities, roadways, and landscape systems. You’ll produce and coordinate visual materials such as site plans, diagrams, renderings, graphics, and 3D models to clearly communicate design intent. You’ll lead and participate in multidisciplinary coordination efforts, review consultant and vendor submittals, and support 30%, 60%, and 90% design reviews with stakeholders.
