Director, Cairns Hospital Redevelopment Stage 1b, Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service
Cairns, QLD Australia
As Director, Cairns Hospital Redevelopment Stage 1b, you will lead CHHHS's involvement in more than $1 billion of new Cairns Hospital infrastructure, representing the Health Service and partnering with Health Infrastructure Queensland (HIQ) to ensure the successful design, procurement, construction and commissioning of this transformational investment.
This is not a traditional project management appointment. HIQ will lead the day-to-day project delivery function, while you will act as CHHHS’s senior representative across the program, operating at the intersection of major capital delivery, clinical operations, governance and stakeholder management.
The redevelopment includes the new Health Innovation & Surgical Centre, Health Management Hub and staff multi-storey car park, representing an unprecedented scale of capital investment for CHHHS and the Far North Queensland community.
