With direction from the project designer or more senior design technician, you will develop, modify, and/or review drawings according to established standards.

You will develop strong presentations and early design studies, prepare 2D and 3D presentation/design drawings, and build models for client/project team review. You will understand and translate design intent into technical documents and may lead a small team of more junior technicians in developing solutions to technical and design detail problems following established standards.

Your responsibilities will also include assisting in client, consultant, and contractor project information coordination, ensuring that documentation for all phases conforms to QA/QC and HOK Best Practice Standards, and applying proper QA/QC methods throughout the project.

You may assist in work planning and scheduling processes, prepare 2D and 3D presentation/design drawings, and assist the team in construction administration document management.
