About The Position

Join our partner firm, Macgregor Associates Architects (MAA), an Invision Studio, as a Senior Project Manager in the Data Center- Mission Critical Program to lead the design and delivery of complex Data Center projects for one or more clients within our growing program. This role is ideal for an experienced architectural professional who excels in client-facing interactions, thrives in fast-paced environments, and brings deep knowledge of Data Center design—from tenant improvements to ground-up construction for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise clients. As a Senior Project Manager, you will serve as a key liaison between the client, internal design team, consultants, and authorities having jurisdiction.

This is a leadership opportunity for someone who brings strategic vision, technical expertise, and a hands-on approach to project delivery. You will work within a collaborative environment that values communication, adaptability, and high standards of design execution. Your ability to manage multiple stakeholders and shifting priorities while upholding MAA’s commitment to quality will be central to your success in this role.
