Identifies, speaks up, and capitalizes on improvement opportunities across teams; uses influence to guide others and engages stakeholders to achieve appropriate solutions.


• Supports the budget development and cost analysis process by: leveraging an advanced knowledge of budgets to develop moderately complex medical equipment budgets for capital projects; and managing the review of equipment costs, providing cost estimates throughout the life of the project as well as independently troubleshooting and managing budgets that are going over to resolve.
• Supports comparative equipment studies by: guiding the monitoring of emerging moderately complex technologies, assessing new healthcare related technologies, and disseminating healthcare related technology as appropriate to others inter/intraorganizational and external to the company; independently conducting functional analysis of the equipment as it relates to operations and facility; planning and scheduling their own work to ensure the completion according to defined periodization/severity scheme; and executing value cost analyses.
• Serves as a company representative by: communicating effectively inter/intra-organizationally and outside of the company; and establishing a communication network proactively on moderately complex projects among the project team, facility, regional personnel and equipment manufacturers/vendors.
• Providing medical equipment planning in support of the architectural design for national capital projects by: leading the creation of moderately complex equipment planning documents in new and existing care delivery environments; leveraging advanced knowledge of medical equipment planning while working within the provision of technical and environmental requirements in support of contract documents independently; leading the review of contract documents and drawings to identify equipment and design conflicts during design process to avoid costly construction delays and clinical usefulness and coordinating with vendors while walking the project site to ensure medical equipment (e.g., drains, utilities, wall placement, door openings, path of travel, and room size/dimension) placement on project construction documents and templates; and conducting equipment punch activities and forecasting independently as needed while ensuring that activities are aligned with the department and company objectives.
• Specifies medical equipment by: evaluating, locating and recommending equipment for moderately complex individual projects used in architectural design and construction for new medical facilities, major renovations, and expansion of existing medical facilities; preparing medical equipment lists for procurement and monitoring procurement activities; utilizing broad strategies while working with outside architectural consultants and contractors to provide equipment specifications, noting design and equipment conflicts through drawing reviews; and forecasting moderately complex equipment lists.
• Engages in project management responsibilities by: using moderately complex project management techniques and an advanced knowledge of project management to consult with user groups and strategic partners to perform a functional analysis of the equipment as it relates to operations and facility; leveraging an advanced understanding of stakeholder management to accommodate various internal and external (e.g., equipment manufacturer, architects, vendors, contractors) stakeholder groups needs and conflicting demands to ensure the optimal use of medical equipment; and defining key equipment criteria independently for the project, offering alternative solutions to the design teams to reduce initial or lifecycle cost while maximizing function, and without compromising patient care, ADA requirements, or ergonomics.
