  • Behavioral health and wellness environments that bring dignity, safety, and therapeutic design principles to care spaces.

What You’ll Do

  • Take a leading role in designing innovative healthcare environments, collaborating with the Design Principal and multidisciplinary teams from concept through construction.
  • Explore and develop creative design solutions that balance aesthetics, functionality, and healing-centered principles.
  • Create presentation materials and actively participate in client meetings, internal critiques, and agency reviews to gain project approvals.
  • Ensure design solutions align with code, cost, and clinical requirements, supporting operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
  • Coordinate design efforts with architects, engineers, planners, and healthcare specialists throughout all phases of the project.
  • Facilitate design workshops and charrettes, integrating user feedback and clinical workflows into the design process.
  • Oversee and guide the design team’s work, ensuring deliverables meet high standards and deadlines.
  • Review architectural documents to identify and resolve design and interdisciplinary conflicts.
  • Contribute to specifications and documentation to maintain design intent through construction.
  • Support construction administration activities, ensuring that the built environment reflects the original design vision.
  • Mentor junior designers and help shape the creative culture of our healthcare design practice.
  • Perform other duties as needed.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • Registered Architect preferred.
  • Evidence of a good design understanding e.g. a good design portfolio.
  • Proven experience designing healthcare facilities — hospitals, outpatient centers, clinics, or medical research environments.
  • Interest or experience in evidence-based and sustainable design (LEED experience strongly preferred).
  • Proficiency in design and visualization tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhino, Enscape, V‑Ray, Grasshopper, Lumion, SketchUp, and 3ds Max.

  • Bachelor's degree in Architecture or closely related field.
  • A minimum of 10 years of experience.
  • Experience with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Project Schedule).
  • Excellent written and communication skills.
  • Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Proficient in use of Autodesk Revit and familiarity with related tools and process.
  • Demonstrated graphic presentation skills.
