• Review electrical submittals and drawings for compliance with contract documents and field constructability.
• Create, review, and manage Requests for Information (RFIs) to clarify design intent and resolve conflicts.
• Support timely resolution of design and coordination issues in collaboration with project management and engineering teams.
• Lead internal coordination meetings involving field supervision, VDC, project management, and prefabrication (if applicable).
• Participate in preconstruction, coordination, and constructability review meetings.
• Communicate changes, impacts, and constructability concerns clearly to all stakeholders.
• Support preconstruction planning, early design reviews, and constructability assessments.
• Assist with transition from coordination drawings to installation drawings and final as-built documentation.
