  • Proven experience coordinating external A/E firms and driving drawing/spec deliverables from concept through construction documents
  • Working knowledge of core data center architectural drivers: space planning, maintainability/access, constructability, and life safety coordination
  • Experience working with U.S. AHJs and navigating local code environments (state/local variations)
