Architect

A leading global architecture and design firm is seeking a multi-talented Architect to join its growing Critical Facilities practice. The ideal candidate will have experience in the design and delivery of high-tech, ground-up architecture projects, including data centers, high-density labs, and other technically complex facilities.
This role will be a key contributor in supporting clients' aggressive expansion initiatives, partnering with regional and global leadership teams to help lead internal and external project teams while strengthening client relationships. The ideal candidate will be highly skilled in both the design and technical aspects of project delivery.
The Critical Facilities practice collaborates across multiple disciplines and specialty areas to support clients with evolving technical requirements. In addition to data centers, project types may include high-performance computing facilities, research and supercomputing environments, command and control centers, SCIFs, Artificial Intelligence facilities, and other technology-intensive project types.
Your Role
As an Architect, you will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary design teams to develop innovative design solutions and coordinate projects through the construction documentation phase. The ideal candidate understands how to translate conceptual sketches and design intent into realized 2D/3D models and technical documentation while proactively resolving technical and design challenges.
You will leverage your technical expertise and Revit skills to support projects from concept through construction within a collaborative team environment. This role is critical to the successful delivery of world-class Critical Facilities projects. A strong work ethic, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to collaboration and mentorship are essential to success.
