Project Coordinator
Your Opportunity:
The Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre (RDRHC) Redevelopment and Expansion is a $1.8 billion Major Capital Project (MCP) involving concurrent design, construction, commissioning, transition, and renovation activity across an active acute care hospital site. The work includes a new patient tower, a new Ambulatory Care Building, enabling works, peripheral projects, and future renovations to existing hospital spaces. The project is complex, fast-paced, and highly integrated with daily hospital operations. Reporting to the Technical Program Lead, and working closely with the Senior Project Manager, the Technical Coordinator will play a key role within the RDRHC Redevelopment Project Team. This position will support technical, construction, operational readiness, shutdown, and design coordination activities required to safely advance redevelopment work while minimizing disruption to patients, staff, programs, and services. The successful candidate will coordinate across the RDRHC Redevelopment PMO, AHS Operations, clinical and non-clinical users, Facilities Maintenance & Engineering, Alberta Infrastructure, consultants, contractors, and other internal and external stakeholders. This role requires strong organization, follow-through, communication, and judgement in a complex healthcare construction environment where priorities, schedules, and operational impacts frequently change.
Description:
The Technical Coordinator will support the Technical Program Lead and Senior Project Manager in coordinating technical, construction, shutdown, design review, and close-out activities associated with the RDRHC Redevelopment and Expansion MCP. The position will assist with construction support in active hospital areas, including coordinating access, badges, site communications, user notifications, building system shutdowns, work requests/NOW entries in e-Facilities, distribution of construction work authorization requests, and communication with impacted departments and users. The role will also support design and technical review coordination, including distributing drawings, specifications, shop drawings, CCNs, and other technical submissions to appropriate reviewers; tracking comments and responses; following up on deadlines; maintaining review logs; and coordinating input from clinical, operational, technical, and facility stakeholders. The position will support construction close-out activities, including tracking deficiencies, warranty items, outstanding documentation, commissioning follow-ups, and status updates as required. The successful candidate must be able to work independently and proactively, obtain information from multiple parties, escalate issues appropriately, and use sound judgement when coordinating urgent or time-sensitive requests. The role requires strong communication, documentation, organization, and relationship-building skills. Work demand will vary through planning, construction, commissioning, transition, and close-out phases. The candidate must be comfortable working on-site, including in construction zones and active clinical environments, and may be required to work flexible hours to support shutdowns, moves, inspections, and construction activities.
