As Architect you shape the building itself. You will design the envelope and interior layout of our facilities, define security zoning, keep the design compliant with building code, and hold the architectural quality on sites that carry public visibility. You sit at the centre of the design team, translating engineering requirements into a coherent building.

• Design the building envelope and interior space planning and layout
• Define security zoning within the facility
• Ensure building code compliance across markets
• Coordinate architectural aesthetics for facilities with public visibility
• Work alongside structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering so the architecture and the systems fit together

The ideal candidate is a qualified architect who has delivered industrial or mission-critical facilities and is comfortable balancing function, compliance, and appearance.

• Professional degree in Architecture
• 7 to 10 years of experience, industrial or mission-critical facility design preferred
• Strong command of building code and permitting
• Able to coordinate closely with engineering disciplines

• Data center or other large industrial facility experience
• Familiarity with building in the Nordics, including local legislation and authorities

We’re building fast and this role needs the right person behind it. There’s no artificial deadline, but when we find who we’re looking for, we move.
