The Principal Architect role is based onsite in Birmingham, AL, and serves as the senior technical authority for power‑generation projects, responsible for defining system architecture and ensuring technical excellence from concept through commissioning.
In this position you will present project designs to leadership, incorporate stakeholder feedback, and advocate sustainable design practices. You will review building plans for aesthetics, environmental impact, code compliance, and accessibility, conduct research, and develop designs that meet client needs, financial constraints, and regulatory requirements. You will produce schematic designs, design development, and construction documents using Revit, ensure cross‑discipline coordination, and collaborate with consultants and internal teams to maintain model integrity.
You will also support the development of site‑wide infrastructure such as utility substations, fiber networks, and mechanical systems, contribute to modular and scalable prototype designs, define architecture across electrical, mechanical, civil, and controls disciplines, ensure compliance with utility and industry standards, lead equipment selection and interconnection coordination, and act as the primary technical liaison with owners, EPCs, OEMs, and utilities. Managing technical risk, constructability, and value engineering, providing support during procurement, construction, and startup, and mentoring senior engineers are also key responsibilities.
