- Support workshops that drive alignment on key issues for new building designs and initiatives to drive the associate experience, operational efficiency, and reduction of first and lifecycle costs.
- Conduct technical reviews of building models to develop efficient workflow practices. Improve production, procedures, visualizations, standards, and methodologies to increase efficiency and quality.
- Provide project support for operations network buildings including fulfillment, sortation, and/or last mile facilities.

- Validate technical program management, and organizational skills
- Improve project and process efficiency. Optimize cross-team processes to improve efficiency and delivery. Create design products and procedures for integrated system of design, criteria specifications, and design package delivery.
