* Coordinate mock-ups, samples, and material selections.
* Identify scope gaps and manage interface issues between work packages.
* Produce technical drawings, specifications, and RCP overlays using tools like AutoCAD, InDesign, and freehand sketching.
Construction & Site Support:
* Support the build by managing design-related trade interfaces.
* Conduct site walks to ensure construction aligns with design intent.
* Organise client off-site visits for material and finish approvals.
* Manage relationships with consultants and the supply chain.
Commercial & Quality Control:
* Monitor and manage change risks and value engineering opportunities.
* Maintain document control to track design changes and support commercial negotiations.
* Ensure design quality is maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

* Experienced in tools such as AutoCAD, InDesign, and hand sketching.
* Effective communicator with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders (architects, PMs, consultants, supply chain).
