The Role

You'll own projects, not tasks. That means holding the schedule, the drawing set, and the client relationship together — coordinating MEP and structural consultants, keeping the Revit model clean, and making the calls that keep a project buildable and on budget.

Progress Studio is small enough that the person running the project is also the person drawing it and sitting in the OAC meeting. If you want distance from the details, this isn't the seat. If you want the whole arc of a project, it is.

What You'll Actually Do

Lead projects from programming and space planning through construction administration.
Produce and manage Revit models and full construction document sets, including code and life-safety plans.
Coordinate MEP, structural, and civil consultants; own the QA/QC review before each issue.
Prepare and answer plan review comments for IDHS and local jurisdictions.
Run client and contractor meetings — agendas, decisions, and follow-up in writing.
Review submittals and shop drawings; conduct site observations and punch list reviews.
Mentor designers and drafters, and help set drawing standards as the studio grows.

What you bring.
