* Coordinate architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and specialty disciplines throughout the design process.

* Ensure compliance with Federal agency requirements, Design-Build contract requirements, quality standards, and project objectives.

* Administer and enforce project-specific Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures and company quality management programs.

* Collaborate with discipline leaders and project executives to ensure successful project outcomes.

* Facilitate problem-solving and decision-making efforts to address complex technical and project challenges.

* Monitor project schedules, deliverables, and financial performance to achieve profitability and operational goals.

* Support business development activities through client engagement, proposal development, capture planning, and interview participation.

* Successfully participate in STV Project Management training.

* Travel locally, regionally, and nationally as required (approximately 10-15%) and obtain credentials required for secure facilities access and classified project work.

Required Qualifications

* Active Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) license required.

* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline.
