Top 5 Role Responsibilities
- Process documentation (PFD's)
- Develop clear, accurate Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
- Track how the design develops from early concept through detailed design, construction support, commissioning, and as-built documentation
- Support testing, prototyping, mockups, or pre-production reviews when needed
- Coordinate design updates resulting from RFIs, submittals, field feedback, owner direction, or vendor information
Design Evolution Tracking
- Document key design decisions, assumptions, constraints, risks, and changes
- Evaluate the impact of new information, owner input, site conditions, equipment selections, vendor data, codes, and coordination comments
- Research and evaluate equipment, systems, layouts, and processes
- Identify opportunities to improve designs through standardization, prefabrication, modularization, sustainable approaches, or new technologies
Revit Modeling
- Create and maintain accurate 3D Revit models
- Support layout development, design coordination, fabrication planning, installation drawings, and owner/team review
- Coordinate model content with other disciplines to identify clashes, space conflicts, access concerns, maintenance clearances, and constructability issues
- Support model-based communication with project managers, field teams, clients, vendors, and design partners
Design Calculations for Component Sizing and Constraint Identification
- Perform design calculations required to support component sizing, layout decisions, equipment selections, and identification of project constraints
- Interpret design concepts to support safe, practical, and technically sound solutions
- Identify constraints related to space, structure, utilities, access, installation, maintenance, operations, safety, cost, schedule, and constructability
- Prepare layouts and details for equipment, machinery, mechanical components, supports, platforms, access features, and related systems
- Support development and documentation of special products, custom equipment, and project-specific design solutions
Design Team Collaboration Tasks
- Support project communication and coordination through timely review, response, and documentation of RFIs, submittals, design questions, and field issues
- Review submittals and vendor information for alignment with design intent, project requirements, equipment selections, spatial constraints, and installation needs
- Prepare, respond to, or support responses to RFIs by gathering information, clarifying design intent, and coordinating input from the appropriate team members
- Support coordination meetings by providing technical input, identifying open issues, and helping document decisions or follow-up actions
- Help resolve production, fabrication, and installation questions so final drawings, models, and project deliverables remain accurate and usable
