• Support the development and continuous improvement of Nscale’s data center architectural basis of design standards to enable a repeatable, high-quality delivery across U.S. projects.
• Coordinate architectural work streams across multi-discipline teams (MEP, structural, civil, commissioning, security, network/IT) to ensure the building supports high-density AI infrastructure needs.
• Drive schedule, deliverables, quality, and decision-making across internal stakeholders and external A/E partners.
• Support architectural due diligence for potential greenfield, brownfield, and colocation opportunities, documenting risks and enabling fast, informed decisions.

• 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 architectural due diligence for potential colocation sites, including assessment of building constraints, fit, access/logistics, and modification boundaries.
• Review landlord/operator documentation and summarize constraints, risks, and required upgrades to support fit-out.
• Support negotiation inputs for architectural lease exhibits (fit-out boundaries, permitted modifications, access requirements, and change control requirements).
