These positions focus on project engineering management.
Here is what you will do:
Lead End‑to‑End Data Center Architectural Design
Drive the architectural vision and strategy for data center projects from concept through commissioning.

Ensure architectural solutions align with client requirements, operational goals, and industry best practices for mission‑critical facilities.
Define Architectural Concepts and Facility Topology
Establish the architectural basis of design, integrating resiliency, maintainability, scalability, and efficiency.
Shape decisions around facility topology (e.g., hyperscale, colocation, edge DCs), building massing, structural considerations, and space optimization.
Functional and Spatial Planning
Lead the design of critical spaces such as data halls, electrical rooms, mechanical galleries, security zones, loading docks, NOCs, offices, and support areas.
Optimize circulation for personnel, equipment pathways, and maintenance accessibility.
Coordinate Multi‑Disciplinary Engineering

Ensure cohesive integration between mechanical cooling strategies, electrical distribution layouts, structural requirements, and architectural constraints.
Resolve cross‑discipline design conflicts while maintaining performance, cost, and schedule.
Uptime, Standards, and Compliance
Interpret and apply regulatory, fire safety, life‑safety, and accessibility standards to architectural solutions.
Sustainability and Efficiency in Architecture
Integrate high‑performance building design strategies focused on energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable materials.
Support strategies such as optimized building envelopes, water use reduction, waste heat reuse, etc.
Design Documentation and Technical Leadership
Oversee the preparation and quality of architectural drawings, specifications, BIM models, site plans, and technical reports.
Lead internal and external design reviews, ensuring alignment on design intent and technical dependencies.
Client and Stakeholder Engagement
Serve as the primary architectural point of contact for clients and key partners.
Communicate clearly and persuasively with stakeholders, presenting design concepts, risk assessments, and design evolution updates.
Construction Support, Quality Assurance, and Commissioning
Support construction activities, respond to RFIs, review shop drawings, and ensure design integrity during build‑out.
Stay Current with Industry Trends
Maintain a deep understanding of emerging data center technologies, architectural innovations, modular solutions, and trends such as liquid cooling, high‑density zones, and automation.
Contribute to design standards, playbooks, and continuous improvement initiatives within the organization.
