• Coordinate model integration and cross‑discipline alignment in a model environment.
• Lead quality control reviews of models, plans, and digital deliverables prior to submittals.

• Support alternative delivery milestones including ATC development, interim submittals, pricing sets, and RFC packages.
• Train and mentor staff on Bentley tools and project standards.
• Serve as Parsons’ point of contact for internal CADD coordination with JV partners and external stakeholders as needed.
