xPL OSM Designer

Description

• Examine documents for compliance with local/national code requirements.
• Work in partnership with linked design disciplines to improve the coordination of design concepts (e.g. geotechnical, structural, code-compliance, architectural, MEFP, vertical transportation, acoustics, and fire).
• Perform technical reviews of projects to assess OSM, examine design details, and recommend energy reduction, constructability, and costs savings options.
• Review and assess project documentation such as drawings, basis of design documents, specifications, reports, and shop drawings.
• Propose potential solutions to Design/Construction team for design optimization, challenges, and constructability improvements as related to OSM work.
• Conduct OSM utilizing whole building energy analysis programs.
• Establish constructive and effective relationships with internal/external project team members, subcontractors, and clients to facilitate understanding and influence design and project development.
• Review, assess, and provide recommendations for project specifications and design drawings.
• Evaluate and provide guidance for project non-conformances and operations issues.
• Coordinate with various professional design team disciplines throughout design and construction phases to gather information and provide recommendations related to OSM.
