Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Project Execution: Own overall master planning, critical path schedules, budget control, and multidisciplinary delivery across all project interfaces.
• Clinical Design & Engineering Integration: Partner with clinical leadership, medical planners, and architects to translate complex care workflows into built infrastructure (OTs, ICUs, diagnostics, CSSD, medical gas pipelines, MEP redundancies, and infection control).
• Site Delivery & Governance: Drive rigorous site quality, safety governance, and execution standards across contractors, EPC partners, and Project Management Consultants (PMC).
• Statutory & Regulatory Clearances: Spearhead end-to-end statutory approvals, clearances, and healthcare licensing with government and municipal authorities.
• Specialist Systems & Medical Technology: Oversee technical integration and commissioning of advanced biomedical equipment, digital hospital infrastructure, and MEP engineering systems.

• Track Record: Proven success in steering major tertiary/quaternary care hospitals (500+ beds) through the complete project lifecycle to final clinical opening.
• Domain Expertise: High degree of technical competence across hospital engineering, MEP redundancy, medical gas systems, infection control design, and specialized healthcare building codes.
• Stakeholder Management: Exceptional leadership ability to interface comfortably across diverse stakeholders—from board leadership, doctors, and architects to contractors and statutory bodies.
