About The Position
This role is responsible for managing the design and delivery of new builds and expansions, with a primary focus on the architectural scope. The position involves leading design phases, coordinating with internal stakeholders and external A/E partners, and supporting procurement and construction execution. Additionally, the role provides support for site acquisition by documenting architectural feasibility and conducting due diligence for potential opportunities. A key aspect of the role is maintaining a risk register for architectural and CSA (Civil, Structural, Architectural) items.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree
- 3+ years of experience managing design and delivery for mission-critical facilities, with significant time on data centers (CSA/architecture scope).
- Proven experience coordinating external A/E firms and driving drawing/spec deliverables from concept through construction documents.
- Working knowledge of core data center architectural drivers: space planning, maintainability/access, constructability, and life safety coordination.
- Experience working with U.S. AHJs and navigating local code environments (state/local variations).
- Strong project management skills: schedule control, risk tracking, scope management, and stakeholder communication.
- Strong presence and decision-making capability
- Pragmatic, risk-based leadership style suited to fast-paced construction environments
- High judgment in high-consequence scenarios
- Ability to challenge delivery teams while maintaining partnership
Responsibilities
- Manage concept, schematic, and detailed design phases for new builds and expansions with a focus on the architectural scope.
- Own the architecture portion of the design concepts, deliverable tracking, and issue resolution (RFIs, design clarifications, change management).
- Coordinate program requirements, space planning, and room adjacencies with internal stakeholders (Design, Construction, Commissioning, Operations).
- Lead design coordination with A/E partners and ensure alignment across disciplines in BIM/clash coordination workflows.
- Run design meetings, track action items, and drive closure on open design decisions and interfaces.
- Review drawings and specifications for completeness, constructability, maintainability, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
- Support procurement and construction execution through submittal reviews, field issue support, and scope clarifications.
- Support early-stage site screening by documenting architectural feasibility considerations (massing, setbacks, expansion capacity, access/logistics, staging).
- Support architectural due diligence for greenfield and brownfield opportunities, including building suitability (if existing), code pathway risks, and upgrade/retrofit impacts.
- Maintain a structured risk register for architecture/CSA items and track mitigations through design and execution.
