WE DESIGN FOR HEALTH. Novus Architects is seeking an experienced, highly talented, and creative individual to join our Healthcare team.  For over 25 years, Novus has shaped healthy environments with a focus on the people that will occupy them; such that patients are comfortable in the place they receive care, and staff can effectively and efficiently provide the highest level of care for their patients. Our success in healthcare design is based on our client-centered design methodology, and we value long-standing client relationships. 

Novus Architects is a full-service architecture firm with offices throughout the southeast. With more than 70 professional staff, our firm is large enough to provide a wide range of engaging projects and growth opportunities, but small enough to foster a collaborative, warm, and collegial environment.

Outside of our Healthcare experience, we have design studios that specialize in education, retail, finance, hospitality, commercial, and multi-family sectors. Our Healthcare Project Manager will be based in Charleston, SC but will collaborate regularly with our Charlotte, Asheville, Atlanta, and Jacksonville offices.

Novus Architects is a two-time Fastest-Growing Company Award winner.
