What You'll Do
In this role, you’ll lead on-site investigations to gather critical evidence related to fire safety failures, including construction defects and cladding performance. You’ll analyze technical records such as maintenance logs, design manuals, and regulatory compliance documents to form sound, defensible conclusions.
You’ll translate complex engineering findings into clear, accessible advice for non-technical stakeholders, including clients and legal teams. Your work will support litigation efforts through well-structured reports—ranging from concise summaries to comprehensive court-ready documents. As your expertise grows, you’ll participate in expert meetings with opposing parties and, with experience, deliver testimony in legal proceedings under cross-examination.
