Job Description:

The client is seeking an experienced Design/Construction Project Manager to support a large-scale Epic implementation initiative across inpatient and outpatient healthcare environments. This individual will lead infrastructure and facilities planning efforts associated with Epic device deployment, ensuring healthcare facilities are properly prepared for go-live activities across multiple locations.

This role sits at the intersection of healthcare operations, facilities construction, IT infrastructure, and clinical technology deployment. The ideal candidate will have deep experience managing hospital construction or facilities projects tied to enterprise healthcare technology rollouts, particularly Epic go-lives. This person will work closely with facilities leadership, IS teams, deployment teams, clinical stakeholders, contractors, and third-party vendors to assess current-state environments, document infrastructure requirements, coordinate walkthroughs, and drive project readiness.

The organization is currently transitioning from Cerner to Epic, with a targeted enterprise go-live scheduled for 2027. This role will help ensure all inpatient and ambulatory facilities are prepared from a construction, electrical, low-voltage, and infrastructure perspective to support successful device implementation across the healthcare system.

• Evaluate existing healthcare environments to determine electrical, network, low-voltage, and physical infrastructure needs for Epic device deployment
• Develop and maintain project plans, timelines, risk logs, action item trackers, and documentation repositories
• Facilitate recurring cross-functional meetings with IT, facilities, clinical operations, construction teams, and external vendors
• Coordinate planning activities associated with patient room technology deployments, digital signage, bedside technology, nurse station hardware, and workstation rollouts
• Gather and document stakeholder requirements for device placement, workflow optimization, and infrastructure modifications
• Support planning efforts related to permitting, ADA compliance, OSHA requirements, infection prevention protocols, and healthcare construction standards
• Create and manage facility requirement documentation to support procurement, design, and implementation efforts
• Collaborate with engineering and network infrastructure teams regarding cabling, sequencing, installation planning, and deployment logistics
• Translate walkthrough findings into actionable project scopes and implementation recommendations
• Coordinate with third-party consultants, contractors, and technology vendors to ensure alignment on project deliverables and timelines
• Lead facilities and IT coordination huddles and provide status updates to leadership teams
• Support adaptation of standard Epic device layouts across older or unique healthcare facilities
• Identify risks, dependencies, and operational impacts that could affect Epic go-live readiness
• Ensure all planning activities remain aligned with enterprise implementation milestones and deadlines
