Construction Project Manager

Construction Project Manager

Southern Illinois Hospital Services is seeking a Construction Project Manager to lead design and construction management services across our healthcare facilities. This position sits at the intersection of clinical operations and capital projects, requiring someone who can translate the needs of a healthcare environment into successful built outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

As an owner's representative, you'll participate directly in the design and construction process from planning through closeout. You'll work with the Director of Design and Construction and other SIH leadership to ensure projects align with our facility planning strategy and business objectives. Your role involves engaging with a diverse stakeholder group—architects, engineers, construction managers, vendors, and clinical staff—to keep everyone aligned and moving forward.

Day-to-day, you'll coordinate inputs from multiple internal departments: facilities engineering, clinical engineering, information services, infection control, and environmental services. This means managing competing priorities and ensuring that design schedules stay coordinated across teams. You'll review design and construction documents for compliance with applicable codes and standards, evaluate program effectiveness to ensure optimal outcomes, and manage project safety while minimizing disruption to hospital operations.

Financial oversight is part of the role—you'll review, evaluate, and approve project pay applications and invoices. You're also responsible for bringing projects to closure in a timely manner and actively participating in the refinement and implementation of construction management software systems, including processes, reports, and staff education.

Required Experience and Qualifications

You'll need a bachelor's degree in a discipline such as Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Construction Technology, or a related field. A minimum of 2 years of construction management and technical experience is required; 3 years of healthcare construction management or technical experience is preferred.

Strong computer skills are essential. You should be proficient in Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams, and One. Note, along with construction management software and systems. Your skill set should include scheduling, budgeting, document management, and cost management.

Certifications are preferred but not required: a Certified Health Care Physical Environment Worker credential, CHC Certified Healthcare Contractor Certificate, or CHFM certification would be valuable additions to your background.

This role calls for demonstrated leadership competencies including business acumen, collaboration, developing people, focus on results, leading effective teams, managing change, personal leadership, problem solving, and strategic thinking. We value employees who embody our standards of performance: respect, integrity, compassion, collaboration, stewardship, accountability, and quality.
