- 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.
