• Listen, engage, communicate with team members in an open authentic and respectful manner.
• Ensure you communicate regularly with your manager, on workload, progress of deliverables, any issues and potential opportunities.
• Assist with innovation and continuous improvement that is well resolved digitally and approved across multiple stakeholders before implementation.
• Assist with the maintenance and communication images of the style guide and design standards.
• Respond to requests across the organisation for your skills in photoshop and 3D rendering as they impact building design.
• When developing design solutions understand and integrate compliance with standards and regulations.
• Prepare working drawings where required for D&C tendering, fabrication and/or construction.
• Assist with the integration and handover of internal design concepts to external consultants and D&C contractors for input, development of design, finalisation and construction as the project requires.
• Stay current with industry trends and best practices, sharing knowledge and insights with the design and planning team and other stakeholders as appropriate.
• Implement effective and efficient work culture to enhance pre-planning, knowledge sharing, accountability, support, training and mentoring to the delivery team in shaping best practice Project Management at Discovery.
