Jonathan Hulke

A specialist in MEP engineering for healthcare facilities, Jonathan understands intimately how SmithGroup’s work touches lives—he helped design the birthing unit where one of his children was born. “Knowing that the space was designed to be safe was extremely comforting, and one less thing to worry about during an otherwise exciting yet stressful experience,” he recalls. The most rewarding aspect of his work, Jonathan adds, is knowing that healthcare projects have the potential to impact so many lives and hearing from users about how well spaces perform. If he could time travel, Jonathan would go back and spend time with his late father. “He was a self-taught craftsman. I would’ve liked to have learned more from him,” he remarks. Now he’s paying it forward with his own kids, sharing his skills coaching hockey.
