Healthcare Programmer Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

Project Executive
Position SummaryOur Client is seeking an experienced Project Executive to lead our on-site role for a transformational, multi-billion-dollar capital program for a leading healthcare owner.

Our Client provides strategic technology advisory, coordination, and oversight across a broad range of technology domains. Our role extends from technology planning and design through construction, integration, testing, and activation, with a particular focus on ensuring that individual systems ultimately work together to achieve the owner’s operational and integration objectives.

Our construction-phase role is intentionally advisory, providing targeted technical oversight and focused QA/QC to identify issues that could compromise technology integration, system functionality, or operational readiness.

The Project Executive will serve as our Client’s senior on-site leader and primary interface with owner leadership, designers, construction managers, contractors, technology vendors, and integrators. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable in executive meetings and detailed technical or field coordination discussions.

Key ResponsibilitiesProgram and Client Leadership

• Serve as our Client’s senior on-site representative.
• Build trusted relationships with owner executives, program leadership, IT, facilities, clinical and operational stakeholders, designers, and construction teams.
• Represent our Client in executive, program, technology, design, integration, and operational-readiness meetings.
• Provide clear executive reporting on progress, risks, decisions, dependencies, and required actions.
• Lead and coordinate Project Managers, consultants, engineers, and subject-matter experts assigned to the program.

Technology and Integration Oversight

• Provide leadership and oversight across the technology domains within the engagement.
• Ensure technology systems are planned and delivered as part of an integrated ecosystem rather than as independent solutions.
• Maintain visibility into design, procurement, infrastructure readiness, installation, configuration, integration, testing, and activation.
• Drive identification and management of interfaces, dependencies, responsibility boundaries, and integration risks.
• Ensure integration requirements established during planning and design are carried through construction and activation.
• Facilitate resolution of issues that cross technology, organizational, design, or contractual boundaries.

Construction-Phase Technology Assurance

• Provide targeted advisory oversight and technology-focused QA/QC during construction.
• Review field conditions and technology installations with an emphasis on identifying issues that could affect future system integration, functionality, testing, or operational readiness.
• Identify potential scope gaps, design inconsistencies, installation concerns, or field conditions that may compromise integration objectives.
• Track significant concerns and facilitate resolution through the appropriate project stakeholders.
• Maintain clear boundaries between our Client’s advisory role and the contractual responsibilities of designers, construction managers, contractors, and vendors.

Design, Schedule, and Risk

• Participate in technology design and constructability reviews.
• Maintain executive visibility into major technology milestones and their relationship to the overall program schedule.
• Identify critical infrastructure dependencies, procurement requirements, owner decisions, integration milestones, testing windows, and activation activities.
• Maintain an active technology risk and issue-management process.
• Ensure significant risks have clear ownership, actions, target dates, and appropriate escalation.

Testing and Operational Readiness

• Provide leadership for coordinated technology integration, testing, activation, and operational-readiness planning.
• Work with owner IT, facilities, clinical, operational, and technology teams to define readiness requirements.
• Support end-to-end testing, workflow validation, integrated-system testing, deficiency resolution, and go-live preparation.
• Ensure technology readiness is measured by successful functionality and integration—not simply physical installation.

Role Boundaries

Our Client serves as a technology advisor and integration leader, not the installing contractor.

The Project Executive will provide leadership, technical oversight, coordination, risk identification, recommendations, and integration-focused QA/QC.

Success requires the ability to lead through expertise, influence, relationships, and program governance rather than direct contractual control.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, information technology, business, or a related field.
• 15+ years of experience delivering major healthcare, construction, technology, systems-integration, or capital programs.
• Prior experience as a Project Executive, Program Manager, Owner’s Representative, Technology Executive, Construction Executive, or similar senior leader.
• Significant experience with large, complex healthcare, institutional, or technology-intensive projects.
• Strong understanding of the design and construction process, including design coordination, infrastructure, scheduling, submittals, RFIs, field conditions, testing, commissioning, and turnover.
• Working knowledge of technology systems including network infrastructure, structured cabling, AV, security, RTLS, wireless, clinical technologies, smart-building platforms, and systems integration.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate sophisticated owners, designers, contractors, consultants, and technology vendors.
• Strong executive presence, communication, facilitation, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to influence outcomes across organizations without direct contractual authority.
• PMP, CCM, PE, RCDD, LEED, or similar credentials preferred.

Measures of Success

• Achievement of technology and integration milestones.
• Early identification and mitigation of integration risks.
• Alignment of technology activities with overall program requirements.
• Effective identification of field conditions that could compromise system integration.
• Reduction of unresolved technology coordination and interface issues.
• Successful integrated testing, activation, and operational readiness.
• Effective coordination among the owner, designers, construction teams, vendors, and our Client.
• Confidence of owner leadership in our Client and the Project Executive.
