Communication is key, and you should have a collaborative team-working style which will help foster strong working relationships with architects, engineers, clients and contractors.

Your knowledge of design processes, assessment of existing buildings and contractor coordination will steer the workstream, while your attention to detail and problem-solving mindset will ensure quality outputs and proactive engagement.
