  • Develop and maintain user guides, process checklists, and standardized procedures for layout operations.
  • Collaborate with BIM Coordinators and Project Engineers to continuously improve layout processes.
  • Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with BIM, Prefabrication, and Field Operations teams to ensure smooth data transfer between office and field.
  • Coordinate with General Contractors, Surveyors, and other trades as needed to align site control and layout points.
  • Maintain organized records of layout data, updates, and revisions.
