About the job

AECOM is looking for a Senior Architect specializing in the design and delivery of colocation and hyperscale cloud data center facilities. This is an exciting opportunity for a licensed architect who has successfully led intricate, mission-critical projects from inception through to commissioning. You will play a vital role in crafting high-performance, secure, and scalable data center architectures tailored to the dynamic needs of elite cloud and colocation clients.

This position offers the flexibility of remote work and can be based from various locations across the U. S. where AECOM has an office.

Although primarily remote, occasional travel may be necessary for client meetings, key project milestones, onsite collaboration sessions, or other essential business activities. Travel will be infrequent and pre-scheduled.

AECOM stands as a leader in the global data center consulting industry, with robust teams across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In this role, you will collaborate with our global teams on high-profile, fast-paced data center projects for international clients, offering a hands-on, client-facing experience with significant opportunities for career advancement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead architectural design for large-scale hyperscale cloud data center and colocation projects, from initial concept through construction administration and project closeout.
  • Collaborate with internal engineering disciplines, construction teams, and external stakeholders to create fully coordinated and integrated design solutions.
  • Develop and review architectural drawings, specifications, and technical documentation, ensuring compliance with applicable codes, standards, and client design guidelines.
  • Coordinate with consultants, contractors, and permitting authorities to facilitate project delivery and regulatory adherence.
  • Act as the architectural subject matter expert for hyperscale and colocation clients, ensuring operational efficiency, scalability, and reliability in facility design.
  • Mentor and develop junior architects and designers, promoting technical excellence and creative design solutions.
  • Stay informed about industry best practices and emerging trends in data center design.
  • Assist in business development, proposal writing, and conceptual architectural design for new projects.
