Architect - Healthcare
Gensler, Tampa, FL, United States
Gensler Healthcare
At Gensler, healthcare design is never just about the built environment. It is about people. Our work is grounded in research, driven by insight, and shaped by the lived experiences of patients, families, clinicians, and communities. And it spans individual moments of care to systems that serve entire regions, elevating human health and wellness.
We call this approach Radically Human and it guides not only our work, but how we build our teams. We seek thoughtful, curious partners who share our belief that design can be a catalyst for better outcomes, deeper connections, and lasting impact.

You will work within a highly collaborative, client-focused culture that values design quality, resilience, and social purpose. This role offers the opportunity to apply informed, user-centered design to unlock solutions that are defining the next chapter of healthcare through spaces that adapt, endure, and elevate the human experience.
