About the Firm

Our client is a nationally recognized design practice focused exclusively on creating high-performing healthcare environments. Their projects span acute care hospitals, ambulatory centers, and behavioral health facilities — each grounded in research, empathy, and operational excellence.

Known for their collaborative culture and healthcare expertise, the firm integrates strategy, design, and delivery to craft environments that not only look beautiful but improve care outcomes and operational efficiency. Their teams are passionate about designing spaces that serve patients, caregivers, and communities alike.


Why This Role Matters

The Project Manager will play a central role in shaping how this firm delivers its projects — leading teams, managing relationships, and ensuring every healthcare project meets the highest standards of design, performance, and technical execution.

This position isn’t just about keeping projects on schedule — it’s about orchestrating people, process, and purpose. As a Project Manager, you’ll serve as the bridge between design vision, client needs, and construction reality, ensuring each project advances with precision, collaboration, and integrity.


What You’ll Do

  • Own project delivery across all phases — including budget, schedule, staffing, QA/QC, and construction-phase oversight.

    • Partner with Project Architects to ensure quality and coordination from concept through completion.

  • Manage multiple projects or a large anchor project, balancing profitability, risk management, and constructability.

  • Lead client and consultant relationships, serving as the primary point of contact for healthcare owners, users, and external partners.

  • Collaborate with firm leadership (Principal in Charge) to align design delivery with client goals and business development strategy.

  • Oversee project teams, providing mentorship, structure, and accountability to ensure team success.

  • Leverage a deep understanding of healthcare project delivery, including regulatory and operational constraints, to guide design decisions and ensure alignment with clinical workflows.

  • Partner directly with clinical and owner teams to interpret operational goals into architectural outcomes that improve both patient experience and staff efficiency.


What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, or related field

  • 10+ years of experience in healthcare or institutional project management

  • Demonstrated success leading design and documentation teams on complex healthcare projects

  • Strong understanding of healthcare regulations (FGI, NFPA, OSHPD/HCAI where applicable)

  • Excellent communication, leadership, and client management skills

  • Financial acumen — experience monitoring budgets, contracts, and profitability metrics

  • Ability to lead multiple concurrent projects and foster collaboration across disciplines

  • Licensure and/or PMP certification preferred but not required


What You’ll Get

  • The chance to manage meaningful projects that directly improve patient care and community health

  • A supportive, design-forward culture that values transparency, mentorship, and impact

  • Opportunity to collaborate with talented healthcare specialists across the Western and Southwestern U.S.

  • Competitive compensation, flexible work environment, and a full suite of benefits
