Our New York City office has an opening for an Architectural Designer to support our Healthcare sector. About Healthcare at DLR Group At the center of DLR Group’s Healthcare practice is an individual - be it a patient, caregiver, instructor, or student. Our design extends beyond the building to consider the emotional, mental, and social well-being of its inhabitants. DLR Group designers are conscious that there are practical and aesthetic issues that must be mediated in healthcare facility planning and design. We leverage our experience and knowledge to deliver evidence-based solutions that support the unique needs of our clients, all the while rooting our practice in one core idea: empathy.

You will coordinate all aspects of project document creation and delivery, working closely with our integrated design team to produce high-quality work. This position requires a strong commitment to meeting project schedules, budgets, and work plans while collaborating effectively with team members to ensure successful project outcomes.

DLR Group is 100% employee owned and as such you’ll enjoy the opportunity to have ownership in the Firm. We rely on all our employee-owners to apply their financial acumen to grow the Firm profitably.
