Sarah Segelhorst, healthcare architect in Bettendorf, describes her experience after joining Shive-Hattery in 2021, below:

When I made the move to Shive-Hattery, I was already leading projects but didn't see a clear path for what was next. I was looking for more than just project responsibility—I wanted growth, leadership opportunities, and a future I could actively shape.

What I found here was exactly that. From the beginning, there was a clear path to leadership, but not a one-size-fits-all version of it. Whether your interests lean toward people leadership, technical expertise, thought leadership, mentorship, or business development, there is space to grow in a way that aligns with your strengths.

The level of trust and autonomy has been a defining part of my experience. There is an entrepreneurial spirit that encourages you to take ownership, pursue ideas, and build something meaningful within the firm. That environment has allowed me to step into leading people, become a shareholder, and continue expanding how I contribute.

Equally important, working alongside integrated engineering teams has made me a better architect. The collaboration is real, and it shows up in the quality of the work and the experience of delivering it.

For someone in that 5–10 year range who is ready for more, this is a place where you can grow quickly and intentionally. The opportunities are here—you just have to be ready to take them.
