UHN Estates Development Capital Project Manager

Job overview

Are you an experienced project manager with a passion for delivering high-quality healthcare estates projects?

These are exciting times for UHN with major projects commencing on both main sites, new off-site locations and including the total site development of Kettering General Hospital as part of the New Hospitals Programme.

We are recruiting full-time Capital Project Managers to lead the delivery of capital projects across the Trust, ensuring they meet key objectives and support our overall strategic plans.

You will have responsibility for the design, development and delivery of complex projects across our sites from inception to completion, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget and to the highest standards. From new developments, extensions, modernising existing healthcare facilities and ensuring compliance with NHS and statutory regulations, to driving innovation in sustainable design and leading multi-disciplinary project teams, this role offers both challenge and reward in equal measure.

This is more than a project management role, it's a chance to influence the future of UHN patient care by creating safe, effective and inspiring spaces. If you are ambitious, resilient and driven by the opportunity to improve NHS environments, we would love to hear from you.

• Work with Clinical & Estates teams to develop and present Capital Bids and support these teams on estates and capital aspects in the preparation of business cases.
• Work closely with the UHN strategy teams as the assigned estates lead to support during the early stages of design/project development, leading onto delivery of the construction elements.
• Develop and present progress reports, budget reports, financial forecasts and risk management reports.
• Oversee contract administration, including procurement, contract management, and dispute resolution.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and best practice in capital project delivery.
