Core Responsibilities

The role covers coordination of architectural, structural, and MEP design outputs across all project stages. It also involves identifying and closing design gaps, aligning inputs from different disciplines, and tracking progress against agreed milestones.

In addition, the coordinator will work closely with clients, contractors, consultants, and internal teams to keep communication smooth and support value engineering and design optimization discussions.
