Job Description

  • Build functional and space programs, departmental plans, adjacencies and room-by-room plans

Your experience

  • Significant hospital or complex healthcare planning experience (acute care is a strong plus)
  • Degree in architecture, healthcare design, planning, interior architecture or a related field
  • Architectural licensure, healthcare master planning, design-build experience, or ACHA, EDAC or LEED AP credentials are a plus
  • Willingness to relocate to Salt Lake City, and authorization to work in the US

The package

  • Hybrid schedule with up to 2 remote days a week
  • 401(k) with a 5% match
  • 80% of medical and dental premiums paid
