Guide BIM coordination (clearances, slopes, access, clash resolution)
Design domestic water, DWV, storm, and specialty piping systems
Present designs to clients and AHJs; lead design‑assist efforts
Establish internal standards, templates, and QA/QC processes
Mentor and help grow the internal design team

Opportunity to shape standards, processes, and team expansion
