Senior Project Architect
Healthcare Architecture
Hybrid | Phoenix, AZ
A nationally recognized architecture and design firm is seeking a Senior Project Architect to join its growing Healthcare practice in Phoenix.
What makes this opportunity unique is that healthcare experience is not required.
The firm is specifically interested in speaking with strong architects who have delivered complex, technically demanding projects and are interested in transitioning into healthcare. Whether your background is in government, civic, higher education, justice, science and technology, aviation, institutional, or other sophisticated project types, the team believes great architects can successfully learn healthcare when given the right mentorship and project exposure.
About the Role
Healthcare architecture is one of the most technically complex and resilient sectors in the industry. Projects require architects to navigate intricate building systems, regulatory requirements, operational workflows, and stakeholder coordination while creating environments that directly impact patient care and community well-being.
The firm has built a highly respected healthcare practice and is looking for a technically strong architect who wants to deepen their expertise, take ownership of project delivery, and grow within the healthcare sector long term.

Lead technical project delivery from design development through construction administration.

What We're Looking For

Licensed Architect preferred.
-
Strong technical expertise and construction documentation experience.
-
Proven ability to coordinate consultants and lead complex projects.
-
Revit proficiency.
-
Experience delivering sophisticated project types outside of multifamily and residential work.
-
Interest in building a long-term career within healthcare architecture.
Why This Opportunity?
Many healthcare firms require candidates to already have years of healthcare experience. This firm takes a different approach.
They recognize that some of the strongest healthcare architects come from other complex sectors and have built a culture focused on mentorship, technical excellence, and long-term professional development. The team is willing to invest in talented architects who bring strong project delivery skills and a desire to learn.
For architects who enjoy solving complex technical challenges, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and working on projects that have a meaningful impact on communities, this represents an opportunity to build expertise within one of the most stable and rewarding sectors in architecture.
This role is ideal for a Senior Architect or Senior Project Architect who has established themselves as a strong technical leader and is looking to apply those skills to larger, more complex projects while developing a highly valuable healthcare specialization.
