• Coordinate structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and BIM/VDC design teams to align work with project milestones.
• Assign engineering tasks, establish priorities, monitor progress, and conduct internal engineering kickoff meetings.
• Coordinate with the Engineering Manager regarding resources, technical issues, priorities, and project risks.

Drawing Management, PE Review & State Submissions

• Coordinate preparation, review, and submission of engineering drawings and supporting documentation to licensed Professional Engineers (PEs) for review, approval, and sealing, as required.
• Manage drawing packages and supporting documents for state modular building approvals and regulatory submissions.
• Coordinate state-specific requirements, including structural design criteria, wind and snow loads, live loads, seismic criteria, electrical service information, energy compliance, and other applicable documentation.
• Track PE reviews, comments, corrections, resubmissions, approvals, and outstanding documentation.
• Coordinate responses to PE and state reviewer comments with the appropriate engineering disciplines.
• Maintain submission logs, approval records, revision histories, and regulatory documentation.
• Coordinate with third-party agencies, inspection organizations, and certification bodies when required.

Engineering Design & BIM/VDC Coordination

• Coordinate architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for modular buildings and data center facilities.
• Oversee Revit models, engineering drawings, equipment layouts, and interdisciplinary coordination.
• Identify design conflicts, model clashes, constructability issues, equipment clearances, and installation constraints.
• Coordinate equipment layouts, HVAC systems, piping, cable trays, switchboards, PDUs, CDUs, MCCs, and associated infrastructure, as applicable.
• Manage IFA, IFR, and IFC deliverables according to project requirements and ensure revisions reflect approved design decisions.

Project Manager Meetings & Schedule Management

• Participate in regular Project Manager meetings to review engineering progress, deliverables, milestones, and outstanding issues.
• Provide status updates, identify schedule risks, and communicate recovery plans.
• Coordinate engineering schedules with procurement, material lead times, fabrication, production, and delivery milestones.
• Track meeting action items and follow up with responsible team members.
• Coordinate design reviews, client submissions, PE reviews, state approvals, and drawing release dates.
• Communicate engineering-related impacts to project cost, schedule, and scope to the Project Manager and Engineering Manager.

Fabrication, Procurement & Manufacturing Support

• Coordinate engineering deliverables with structural steel fabrication, electrical assembly, mechanical installation, and manufacturing teams.
• Review fabrication drawings, equipment arrangements, bills of materials (BOMs), and installation details for completeness and coordination.
• Support procurement by identifying long-lead materials, equipment requirements, and design-related purchasing constraints.
• Respond to RFIs and technical questions from fabrication, procurement, quality, and construction teams.
• Coordinate design freeze milestones and control released drawings to help prevent rework and schedule delays.

Scope, Change Management & Quality Control

• Identify design changes affecting approved scope, project cost, schedule, materials, or fabrication.
• Coordinate with the Project Manager and Engineering Manager before implementing significant changes outside the approved design scope.
• Verify that required client approvals and change orders are obtained in accordance with company procedures.
• Maintain accurate revision control and support design reviews, quality inspections, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and project closeout as applicable.

Codes, Compliance & Technical Documentation
