• Assist the Design Manager in coordinating design activities throughout all project stages, from pre-construction to handover.
• Liaise with architects, engineers, consultants, and subcontractors to ensure design alignment with project goals.
• Manage and review design documentation, ensuring compliance with contractual, regulatory, and quality standards.
• Attend project meetings to provide design input and address any technical queries.
• Support the management of design change requests and assess the impact on costs and timelines.
• Contribute to the preparation of design programs and monitor progress to ensure deadlines are met.
• Maintain strong communication between internal teams, clients, and stakeholders

Requirements
