Pearl Construction Rating. A core part of the role is materials governance: reviewing construction-phase LEED materials (e.g., low-emitting, EPD/HPD, product transparency) and ensuring each material submittal also complies with applicable LEED design credits (e.g., Energy Performance, water use reduction) so the project's credit strategy remains consistent from design through construction.
Key Responsibilities

• Certification delivery (LEED & Estidama)

• Maintain reviews with procurement to prevent noncompliant substitutions; require product data, declarations (EPD/HPD), VOC content/emissions test reports, SDS, and manufacturer letters as applicable.
