This role is for a specialist who thrives at the intersection of scalable modular infrastructure and mission-critical resilience. You will be the architectural anchor of a multidisciplinary team of experts to integrate complex cooling and power systems into seamless, sustainable designs.

• Conduct cross discipline coordination with electrical, mechanical, process/piping, fire protection, structural, civil, and IT/telecom to eliminate clashes and ensure system operability.
• Prepare and review construction documents, specifications, and detail drawings, ensuring completeness and technical accuracy for client review, approval, and permitting.
• Conduct site walks/assessments and verify existing conditions influencing architectural planning and system placement to optimize scalability and modular growth potential.
• Lead quality control reviews and validation of design deliverables, providing technical leadership and mentoring junior staff architects to elevate team competency.
• Coordinate submittal reviews, respond to RFIs with technically precise clarifications, and manage timely package turnovers to meet project schedules.
• Document and track design changes rigorously through formal change control processes to maintain alignment with client expectations and contractual obligations.
• Integrate sustainable design principles where applicable, supporting LEED documentation and energy-efficient material selections to minimize environmental impact.

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from an accredited program is required.
• Licensed Architect with responsible charge authority; ability to obtain additional state registrations as project needs dictate.
• Minimum of seven years of professional architectural experience, with a majority specializing in mission-critical/data center data center facility design.
• Demonstrated understanding of scalable data center design principles including modular growth, tiered redundancy, and critical power and cooling infrastructure.
• Direct exposure to hyperscale or colocation data center facilities and understanding of their unique design and operational demands is desired.
• Thorough understanding of relevant codes and standards, including IBC, NFPA, and TIA-942 standards.
• Solid technical communication skills, capable of effectively interfacing with clients, contractors, and internal discipline leads.
• Experience mentoring junior architects and technical staff, driving professional development within integrated project teams.
• Salary Range: $90,000 – $135,000/year depending on location, education, depth of relevant experience. Opportunity for ample rewards, leadership incentive/bonus program, and ownership investment opportunities.
• Benefits: Includes comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training (including support for relevant licensure & certifications), and generous PTO & paid holidays.
