Architectural Engineer

Hut 8•Miami, FL

2d•Onsite

About The Position

The Architectural Engineer is a shared resource for building envelope, layouts, and code compliance review across Hut 8's data center projects, supporting permitting and design coordination. Data center architecture is unglamorous and unforgiving: envelope performance, egress, and code compliance have to be right, water-tightness gates the whole MEP schedule, and the AHJ has to say yes - this role owns getting all three right across the portfolio.

Requirements

5+ years of architectural or architectural-engineering experience on industrial, mission-critical, or large commercial buildings.
Strong working command of IBC, egress and life-safety design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility requirements.
Envelope expertise: air/vapor barriers, roofing systems, and detailing that survives value engineering.
Experience running AHJ plan review cycles to approval across multiple jurisdictions.
Proficiency reviewing Revit-based packages, specifications, and construction submittals.
Comfortable supporting several concurrent projects with shifting priorities.
Collaborative working style across many disciplines and external design partners.

Nice To Haves

RA or PE (or clear path to licensure) preferred
Data center, semiconductor, or industrial portfolio a plus

Responsibilities

Review architectural packages across projects - envelope assemblies, roofing systems, exterior skin, doors and hardware, interior layouts, and finishes - for code compliance, durability, and program standards. Verify layouts support equipment movement, maintenance access, and security layering.
Own review of occupancy classification, egress design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility compliance. Coordinate life-safety plans with the Fire Protection Engineer and resolve code interpretation questions with AHJs.
Support building permit submittals and drive AHJ plan-review comments to resolution with design partners. Anticipate jurisdiction-specific requirements early enough to keep permits off the critical path.
Review envelope details for constructability and performance - air/vapor barriers, roofing terminations, penetrations, and louver/equipment interfaces. Support the field on water-tightness milestones that gate MEP rough-in and equipment set.
Coordinate architectural scope with structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and security: penetrations, acoustics, equipment access paths, and roof loading zones.
Respond to architectural RFIs and submittals, support finish and punch milestones with CSA superintendents, and maintain architectural standards and typical details across the portfolio.
