Key Responsibilities Review and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, specifications, details, schedules, and related project documents.

Review plans for inconsistencies, conflicts, missing information, and unusual conditions. Assist with quantity takeoffs and verification of takeoff information. Validate plan interpretations and construction data produced through internal processes and technology. Explain how and why specific information was identified within a drawing set. Help establish consistent rules and methodologies for interpreting construction documents. Identify common drawing conventions, symbols, abbreviations, line types, notes, callouts, and details.

Work closely with construction and technology personnel to improve the accuracy and reliability of internal systems. Test and evaluate developing tools and workflows using real-world construction documents. Document plan-reading logic, exceptions, and industry-specific conventions. Assist in developing internal standards and quality-control procedures.

Exceptional attention to detail. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
