Manage building approval processes, including responding to authority requirements, preparing additional drawings and reports, and assisting with conditions of approval and application issues.

Prepare and maintain standard construction details, detail registries, master drawings, facades, and ArchiCAD documentation and library structures.

Ensure designs are safe, buildable, and compliant with applicable building codes, regulations, and legal requirements.

Apply quality assurance processes and checklists to maintain accuracy and consistency across all drafting and design work.

Review plans and documentation to identify potential issues, resolve discrepancies, and escalate risks to management when required.

Develop and improve drafting systems, processes, and production standards in collaboration with the Design and Drafting Manager.
