Your Role - Be Part of a Landmark Transformation in Healthcare

St John of God Subiaco Hospital, Western Australia's oldest private hospital, is embarking on its most ambitious transformation yet - a multi-stage redevelopment that will redefine private healthcare in the state. This once-in-a-generation project will deliver a world-class hospital campus, setting new benchmarks in innovation, sustainability, clinical excellence, and patient-centred care.

As we prepare for the construction of our state-of-the-art Stage 3 New Clinical Building (2026-2028), we are seeking a visionary and experienced Deputy Director Redevelopment to join our dynamic team. This pivotal role will support the Director Redevelopment in delivering high-impact projects that enhance patient experience, improve clinical safety, increase caregiver and VMO engagement and ensure a seamless transition into our new and refurbished facilities - all while navigating the complexities of a live operational environment.

The Deputy Director Redevelopment will be responsible for the planning, management, delivery of outcomes and reporting to meet agreed timeframes and quality standards within allocated budgets for the redevelopment.

• In conjunction with the Director Redevelopment, lead the process to appoint all required project consultants and contractors in accordance with the project's Terms of Reference.
• Oversee the management of all contracts, in conjunction with other key stakeholders in accordance with the project's Terms of Reference.

• Actively participate in and lead all key meetings and forums associated with the project, with a particular focus on monitoring risk and progress against time and cost.
• In conjunction with the Director Redevelopment, prepare the agenda and project reports for Project Control Group (PCG) and Redevelopment Steering Committee (RSC) meetings.
• Review the facility needs identified within the approved Clinical Services Plan for implementation and report on any possible departures within the project scope.
• Prepare detailed operational commissioning programmes to assist review and understanding by a wide range of caregivers and other stakeholders.
• Facilitate all testing, documentation and approvals required for occupation and operational commissioning of new clinical areas.

To be successful in this role, you will bring extensive experience in leading the delivery of large-scale, complex construction projects across all phases of the development lifecycle. You will possess advanced knowledge of project management methodologies, underpinned by tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline such as construction management, architecture, or engineering.

Your expertise will include strategic procurement and the ability to plan, prepare, and negotiate consultancy and construction contracts. A proven ability to manage multiple contracts of varying size, cost, and complexity concurrently is essential, along with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes within agreed timeframes and budgets.

In addition, you will have significant experience working within a large, complex organisation to deliver redevelopment projects in live operational environments, where minimising disruption to ongoing services is critical. Your strong communication and interpersonal skills will enable you to build effective relationships and collaborate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

You will also demonstrate proficiency in developing key project documentation, including project briefs, initiation documents, business cases, and statements of work, to support informed decision-making and successful project execution.
