Coordinate with AV integrators, general contractors, suppliers, and trades to resolve construction and coordination issues. Review design requirements against project scope, budget, schedule, and constructability. Support project documentation, including site instructions, change notices, and related construction administration items. Build productive working relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and internal team members. Support and mentor junior members of the audiovisual team.
Qualifications & Experience

A practical, detail focused approach to design coordination and problem solving. Strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently when required. A sense of urgency and the ability to keep projects moving while maintaining quality.
