About the opportunity
As a Program Manager, Operational Strategy, Change and Commissioning, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering Health Infrastructure’s capital portfolio. This is your opportunity to drive strategic transformation and ensure operational readiness across major hospital projects.

In this dynamic leadership role, your portfolio of work will focus on implementing the Operational Strategy and Shared Services Engagement Framework across the capital program, working closely with NSW Health Shared Service partners. You’ll also provide core advisory services aligned with the Operational Strategy, Change and Commissioning Framework, embedding best-practice support service models and infrastructure design into every development.

You’ll collaborate with Local Health Districts (LHDs) and NSW Health entities to foster strong partnerships, influence service transformation, and guide projects from planning through to, day one operations. From stakeholder engagement and partner negotiations to milestone reporting, you’ll oversee the full lifecycle of change and commissioning, providing expert advice and guidance to deliver facilities that are fit-for-purpose and future-ready.

This is a full-time ongoing role. Remuneration will be determined with the successful candidate.

This recruitment may be used to create a Talent Pool for similar future roles (ongoing or temporary) that may arise over the next 18 months. 

About you
We’re looking for a confident communicator and collaborative leader who thrives in dynamic environments. To succeed in this role, you’ll bring proven experience in change management and hospital operational commissioning to facilitate operational readiness across complex health infrastructure projects.

Your strong stakeholder engagement skills and attention to detail will enable you to work effectively both independently and as part of geographically dispersed teams. You’ll partner closely with Local Health Districts, Health Infrastructure project teams and NSW Shared Service Partners to ensure new facilities are operationally ready from day one.

If you’re a trusted advisor who excels under pressure and is passionate about driving transformation in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you.
