About the Opportunity
QEII New Generation is an initiative to realign care and services from the aging Victoria and Centennial buildings on the Victoria General Site of the QEII Health Sciences Centre. In addition, the initiative will map out a plan for future service delivery at key sites in Central Zone. It includes multiple sub-projects including renovations and new construction at the Halifax Infirmary, Dartmouth General Hospital, a new Community Outpatient Centre in Bayers Lake and more. The complex, multi-site, multi-project, and multi-phased nature of the overall project, and the complex environment within which the work is being planned and implemented combine to form a high risk situation in which effective engagement, well thought-through functional planning, thorough Operational Readiness planning and strong transition management are very important activities to mitigate many types of risk.
Responsibilities
Reporting to the Senior Clinical Director, QEII New Generation Project, the Director, Operational Readiness in collaboration with clinical and redevelopment leadership teams, is responsible for ensuring the seamless transition of hospital operations from the current operating state, through to the new operating state (across multiple locations). The Director, Operational Readiness will provide leadership and oversight to the development of operational work plans that will allow all programs and services impacted by redevelopment activities to achieve successful transition to full operations.
