Q2: Main responsibilities
What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
I'm currently an architect. I recently got licensed, which is a validation that I've worked a certain amount of time and taken six exams. This has led to more responsibilities.
I'm now the project architect for a master planning project out of California. At the same time, I'm involved on a few other teams. This includes construction administration for a large pump station and infrastructure project, as well as some smaller projects in early design processes.
The role really changes between teams, but even within the same team, it changes day to day. For the main project, I'm leading two people and coordinating between different disciplines.
