Promoted into a senior role, I took on more responsibility juggling design projects, tenant improvements, building improvement projects, and project managing.

I gained more understanding into the project management process and implemented that into our projects. Essential Functions were to maintain clear communication with all stakeholders, establishing client requirements, project scope/schedule/budget, construction team organization, complete design build package through permitting, knowledge of building codes and ADA requirements, and worked closely with vendors and subcontractors.

Major responsibilities of this position have been to develop and implement a full design build package that includes preliminary space planning and design all the way through permitting and construction build out. Essential Functions were tenant/client relations, space planning and design, familiarity with interior finishes and FF&E, multitasking and problem solving, good communication skills, direct contact with contractors, sub contractors and vendors, and some project management.
