PHOENIX, Arizona, April 6, 2026 — SSOE Group, an internationally ranked architecture and engineering firm, has established a new office in Phoenix, Arizona, formalizing a long-standing presence in one of the nation’s fastest-growing and most dynamic regions. With more than 60 multi-discipline employees already serving clients locally, the firm is continuing to hire to support sustained regional demand.
Arizona’s growth is being fueled not only by semiconductor investment, but by a broader surge across advanced manufacturing and industrial sectors including automotive, battery, chemical, food and beverage, glass, and pharmaceutical production. At the same time, communities across the Valley are expanding rapidly to support that growth—driving demand for K-12 and higher education, healthcare facilities, judicial buildings, workforce development centers, corporate workplaces, mixed-use environments, and the digital infrastructure that connects them, including data centers.
SSOE’s Phoenix office is positioned to serve this full spectrum of needs, bringing together expertise in both highly technical, process-driven facilities and architecturally driven environments that prioritize how people live, work, and connect with a focus on balancing high‑performance demands with long-term efficiency in the Southwest.
Located in North Scottsdale, the office strengthens SSOE’s regional footprint while reinforcing its commitment to being a local partner. Jennifer Willard, Principal at SSOE, is based in Phoenix to lead the multi-discipline team serving all of the firm’s markets.
“Phoenix isn’t just growing—it’s evolving,” said Willard. “You see it in the expansion of advanced manufacturing, but also in the schools, hospitals, workplaces, and community spaces rising alongside it. What makes SSOE different is our ability to bring those worlds together. We design highly complex, high-tech and clean manufacturing environments, but we also understand how those facilities fit into a broader community. Whether it’s a large greenfield industrial campus or a space shaped around people and purpose, we focus on integrating form, function, and process in a way that helps our clients—and this region—move forward.”
SSOE is known for delivering the optimized integration of facilities and complex processes, particularly in advanced technology environments where precision, speed-to-market, and operational performance are critical. That same integrated approach extends to the firm’s architectural work, where design solutions support both immediate needs and long-term community impact.
The Phoenix office, located at 16220 N. Scottsdale Rd., Suite 150, Scottsdale, AZ, serves as a hub for SSOE’s work across its industrial and community-focused sectors. The firm continues to hire locally to support ongoing and future projects. Open positions are available at www.ssoe.com/careers.
