• Translate building code acceptance requirements into technical requirements for product development and testing.
• Review and approve test plans, specimen designs, and test matrices.
• Author engineering analyses, calculations, and evaluation-report content.
• Define quality-control outcomes and requirements for additive concrete construction and building products.
• Manage third party review relationships, including ICC-ES.
• Analyze complex, ambiguous, or multi-source data from the regulatory technical database.
