  • Manage concurrent projects and their deliverables, maintaining schedule alignment across design, permitting, fabrication, and installation workstreams
  • Permitting & Regulatory
  • Lead structural permitting strategy across jurisdictions for modular programs, including building permits, factory inspection and certification, special inspections, and structural observation requirements
  • Coordinate with state modular program offices, local building departments, third-party inspection agencies, and factory certification bodies
  • Manage permit and factory approval schedules as part of the overall project critical path
  • Monitor regulatory risk including seismic design categories, wind exposure, transport route restrictions, and jurisdictional modular code acceptance, developing mitigation strategies
  • Construction & Fabrication Support
  • Review fabricator submittals, RFIs, and factory non-conformances for structural scope
  • Conduct periodic factory audits and site visits to document structural fabrication quality, dimensional compliance, and installation accuracy
  • Collaborate with production teams for design optimization, ensuring structural solutions are practical, cost-effective, and manufacturable at scale
  • Manage design changes and change order scope across both factory and field structural work
  • Coordinate structural closeout, as-builts, and acceptance with local authorities, special inspection agencies, and modular certification bodies
