North American Health Care, Inc. |
CEO and Chief Operating Officer are seeking an interior designer to assist them with major remodeling of skilled nursing centers and sub-acute rehabilitation hospitals – in four Western States: CA, WA, AZ, UT. You must be willing to travel – all over Southern and Northern CA, (specifically in Southern CA: LA county, Orange County, Riverside County; in Northern CA: Sacramento area, Bay area, Wine Country); Seattle, WA, Orem, UT, and Scottsdale, AZ. You must be willing to drive/travel to the job site regularly both locally here in Southern CA and then by air one night a week, maybe twice a month. This will require air travel and hotels. You will have an office cubicle here at our headquarters in Dana Point, but will be expected to be on the road, regularly and frequently, as needed, - most of the time - following through and managing the remodeling projects as well as helping us maintain our outstanding roster of Rehab Centers and skilled nursing facilities – being a point person to evaluate, watch, and see through the entire remodeling effort as it is undertaken by contracted remodeling companies.
The ideal candidate will after a few months of orientation, even possibly choose which companies get to do the remodeling work, and you will have those companies report to you - through the entire contract. The ideal candidate will be licensed, and have attended design school and obtained a design degree – preferably in commercial hospitality and/or health care design. However, the degree in health care design is not necessary, if you have extensive experience, or some kind of technical training from a professionally licensed institution for design. Further, we understand some of the greatest people out there do not get the opportunity to attend sophisticated schools, etc., of design, so if you have some other qualifications that are applicable, please submit. So much of this job description is about your excitement, enthusiasm, talent and application. Your communication skills, your ambition, your flair, your substance and your ability to coordinate and come up with really outstanding design are the most important. You must really have the ‘want to’, capacity, and ability to ‘wow’ the CEO and COO of the company with your abilities because both of them are amateur designers themselves. These two leaders have created beautiful, highly inviting health care settings. Ideal candidate will have a buyer’s/resale license, and/or understand the mechanisms to obtain wholesale pricing for the purchase of carpet, wall paper, paints, furniture, lighting, accessories, art, etc. direct from manufacturers on behalf of the company.
Ideal candidate will have poise, excellent presentation skills, and the ability to sell and persuade and make an outstanding first impression.
Your typical day to day work will be helping design the entire remodel of the facility, including everything from picking and then pricing all the elements, such as: carpet, paint, wall paper, furniture, and fixtures, sconces, window treatments, bathroom and shower room design and complete accessorizing of the facility. We have beautiful facilities and want to make each and every remodel an improvement, if possible upon the last one. Each remodel teaches new things we learn from. You do not need to ‘dream up’ a first time of what the facility needs to look like, as we will have you visit some of our current properties that are absolutely beautiful – state of the art – top of the line in the profession. What we are looking for is someone who can take what we do, observe its excellence, and then duplicate that level of excellence in our facilities that need a remodel. One thing we are lacking is the wholesale purchasing/pricing capacity. We would very much like to bring more and more of the elements that we pay retail pricing for in house – particularly the buying of all the materials that are to be installed – so that our pricing for these very expensive undertakings improves. Currently we do not enjoy wholesale pricing, rather we have hired a number of independent companies, whose personnel specialize in hospitality, hotels, and health care. They charge us a substantial fee for securing all of the new installation materials – such as the paint, wallpaper, furniture etc., and then see the entire project from start to finish. This has been acceptable, and reasonably effective – but too expensive. We know we can do it for less money if we get smart and secure much of the materials internally and figure out what products we need, purchase them directly, have them delivered, and then hire the appropriate people to install them.
The ideal candidate must truly enjoy the idea of “staying with the job’ – from start to finish – have the ability to adapt and change and improve as necessary as the job progresses and have an eye on what we can do to be better and better.
