- Collaborate with project managers to understand the design requirements and specifications and how this will be detailed on the drawings.
- Working, navigating and becoming familiar with the latest document portals such as Viewpoint, ASite, Autodesk 360 and others etc.
- Proactively communicate with customers & suppliers. Seeking answers to questions, chasing approvals and relaying notes and information to accompany the issue/upload of drawing revisions.
- React to and manage customer queries, tasks delegated by colleagues or raised during progress meetings.
- Produce, revise and coordinate a collaborative ‘Drawings’ calendar.
- Assist in the preparation of project-specific risk assessments & method statements.
