We currently have an opportunity for an Engineering Project Manager – Lifecycle

client's facility critical engineering assets safe, compliant, reliable and
operationally fit for purpose.
Reporting to the Asset Manager, you’ll lead the planning, governance and
delivery of engineering upgrades, replacements and major asset refresh
activities under the hospital’s Public Private Partnership agreement. Your work
will support the continuity of essential hospital services while minimising
disruption to patients, clinicians and operational teams.
What You’ll Do
This role offers a broad scope, with key responsibilities including:
* Lead the engineering lifecycle project portfolio, developing scopes, business
cases, budgets, schedules, risk registers, procurement packages and closure
reports.
* Plan and deliver engineering upgrades with detailed outage, shutdown,
isolation and staged cutover arrangements that minimise disruption to
clinical services.
* Coordinate procurement, contractors, contract administration, FAT/SAT
activities, commissioning, warranties and operational handover.
* Work closely with clinical, operational and technical stakeholders to plan
safe access, sequencing and integration in a live hospital environment.
* Maintain lifecycle forecasts and asset information while reporting on project
progress, costs, risks, quality and compliance.
What You’ll Bring
* A tertiary qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Building
Services Engineering or a related discipline.
* Significant experience delivering engineering capital or lifecycle projects
in complex operational environments, preferably healthcare, PPP or another
regulated sector.
* Strong technical understanding of building services such as electrical
distribution, HVAC, fire systems, hydraulics, BMCS/BMS, medical gases and
vertical transportation.
* Demonstrated capability in project governance, budgeting, risk management,
vendor management and multidisciplinary project delivery.
* The ability to communicate effectively across clinical, technical,
commercial, operational and executive stakeholder groups. A PRINCE2, PMP,
Agile or equivalent project management certification will be highly regarded.
More than anything, you’ll bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a
commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients. You’ll be
collaborative and accountable, communicate clearly and provide practical
solutions in a dynamic, high-pressure hospital environment.
