Job summary

Hut 8 is seeking an Architectural Engineer to serve as a shared resource for building envelope, layouts, and code compliance across data center projects. The role supports permitting, design coordination, and ensures envelope performance, egress, and code compliance are right across the portfolio.

You will review architectural packages for durability and program standards, coordinate life-safety plans with engineers and AHJs, and drive permit submittals while maintaining architectural standards

Qualifications

• 5+ years architectural/architectural-engineering experience on industrial, mission-critical, or large commercial buildings.
• Strong working knowledge of IBC, egress and life-safety design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility.
• Envelope expertise: air/vapor barriers, roofing systems, detailing that endures value engineering.
• Experience running AHJ plan review cycles to approval across multiple jurisdictions.
• Proficiency reviewing Revit-based packages, specifications, and construction submittals.

Responsibilities

• Review architectural packages across projects for code compliance, durability, and program standards; verify layouts support equipment movement, maintenance access, and security layering.
• Own review of occupancy classification, egress design, and life-safety; coordinate plans with AHJ and Fire Protection Engineer.
• Support building permit submittals and drive AHJ plan-review comments to resolution with design partners.
• Review envelope details for constructability and performance; support field on water-tightness milestones that gate MEP rough-in.
• Coordinate architectural scope with structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and security teams; respond to RFIs and maintain standards across the portfolio.

Job description

ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Architectural Engineer is a shared resource for building envelope, layouts, and code compliance review across Hut 8's data center projects, supporting permitting and design coordination. Data center architecture is unglamorous and unforgiving: envelope performance, egress, and code compliance have to be right, water-tightness gates the whole MEP schedule, and the AHJ has to say yes - this role owns getting all three right across the portfolio.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Architectural Design Review

Review architectural packages across projects - envelope assemblies, roofing systems, exterior skin, doors and hardware, interior layouts, and finishes - for code compliance, durability, and program standards. Verify layouts support equipment movement, maintenance access, and security layering.

Code, Egress & Life Safety

Own review of occupancy classification, egress design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility compliance. Coordinate life-safety plans with the Fire Protection Engineer and resolve code interpretation questions with AHJs.

Permitting & AHJ Coordination

Support building permit submittals and drive AHJ plan-review comments to resolution with design partners. Anticipate jurisdiction-specific requirements early enough to keep permits off the critical path.

Envelope & Water-Tightness

Review envelope details for constructability and performance - air/vapor barriers, roofing terminations, penetrations, and louver/equipment interfaces. Support the field on water-tightness milestones that gate MEP rough-in and equipment set.

Cross-Discipline Coordination

Coordinate architectural scope with structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and security: penetrations, acoustics, equipment access paths, and roof loading zones.

Construction Support & Standards

Respond to architectural RFIs and submittals, support finish and punch milestones with CSA superintendents, and maintain architectural standards and typical details across the portfolio.

ABOUT YOU

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of architectural or architectural-engineering experience on industrial, mission-critical, or large commercial buildings.
• Strong working command of IBC, egress and life-safety design, fire-rated assemblies, and accessibility requirements.
• Envelope expertise: air/vapor barriers, roofing systems, and detailing that survives value engineering.
• Experience running AHJ plan review cycles to approval across multiple jurisdictions.
• Proficiency reviewing Revit-based packages, specifications, and construction submittals.
• RA or PE (or clear path to licensure) preferred; data center, semiconductor, or industrial portfolio a plus.
• Comfortable supporting several concurrent projects with shifting priorities.
• Collaborative working style across many disciplines and external design partners.
• Periodic site travel for envelope milestones and punch (typically 10-20%).
