What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
Here's the cleaned transcript:
Some of my main responsibilities involve plan production. If something needs to be built, like buildings or roads, it requires plans, and that's what we create. We use a program called AutoCAD to draw these plans.
A significant part of my job is producing plans for contractors to build from. We also handle stormwater reports. Different cities and counties have specific requirements for sizing storm drain lines for rain events, so we prepare reports for that.
Additionally, if any of our projects are currently under construction, we answer questions from the field. We field those questions and provide contractors with answers. This becomes a bigger responsibility during the non-rainy seasons when construction is at its peak.
