Assist with project document reviews (drawings, specifications, shop drawings, submittals).
Participate in site visits and prepare site visit documentation and reports.
Support building envelope failure investigations and condition assessments.
Assist with field testing of enclosure performance (water leakage, air leakage, whole‑building air testing, infrared thermography).

Assist with basic project coordination tasks.
Assist with technical report writing and data organization.
