• Develop, document, and continually improve CA workflows, templates, and quality standards across the Education Studio
• Review shop drawings and product data for compliance with contract documents and design intent

• Strong command of construction documents, project specifications, and delivery methods
• Hands-on experience managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, and pay applications
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross-disciplinary coordination
• Background in education, civic, or institutional project types preferred
• Proficiency with construction management and document control platforms
