El Camino Health is committed to hiring, retaining and growing the best and brightest professionals who will carry our mission and vision forward. We are proud of our reputation in the community: One built on compassion, innovation, collaboration and delivering high-quality care. Come join the team that makes this happen. FTE 1 Scheduled Bi-Weekly Hours 80 Work Shift Day: 8 hours Job Description Work Location: Full-Time, On-Site. Depending on project phase, work will be performed at ECH facilities in Los Gatos, Mountain View, and/or San Francisco. Candidates must be prepared to work regularly across all three locations as project needs require. The Project Director serves as El Camino Health’s dedicated owner’s representative for the ground-up development of the new Los Gatos Hospital. Reporting directly to the VP of Facilities Design & Real Estate, this is a high-impact, hands-on role for a seasoned expert who combines deep technical knowledge of California hospital design and construction (HCAI/OSHPD) with the organizational acumen to coordinate decisions across ECH’s leadership and governance structures. The Project Director advances the project day-to-day and ensures that key ECH decision-makers are engaged at the right milestones – this role directs the work, but does so within and in support of established institutional decision-making processes. While this is an individual contributor role, the Project Director operates at a high level of expertise and wields significant influence over external partners, a multi-million dollar project budget, and the long-term physical footprint of ECH. Success requires both the technical depth to manage a complex HCAI-regulated construction program and the leadership presence to keep ECH’s VP, governance bodies, and executive stakeholders appropriately informed, aligned, and empowered to make timely decisions. A dedicated construction manager and supporting project team provide day-to-day operational support. This is a full-time, on-site position; the role will require a physical presence across ECH’s Los Gatos, Mountain View, and San Francisco locations as project phases demand. Qualifications 10–15+ Years of Relevant Experience: Demonstrated track record leading large-scale ($100M+) hospital or healthcare construction projects in California. Direct, hands-on experience with HCAI (formerly OSHPD) design review and construction inspection processes is non-negotiable. Mastery of Delivery Methods: Expert-level knowledge of tailoring delivery strategies (e.g., Progressive Design-Build, IPD, CM at Risk) to maximize owner value. Familiarity with collaborative project delivery (CPD) principles and the disciplines required to sustain them across a multi-trade team. Collaborative Project Delivery & Big Room Leadership: Demonstrated experience working in a multi-trade Big Room environment, collaborating across all disciplines – design, engineering, construction, and owner stakeholders – within an integrated, co-located setting. The Project Director must be able to model and foster a positive, goal-focused team culture that sustains the trust, transparency, and shared accountability required for successful Collaborative Project Delivery (CPD). Experience with Lean construction principles, Last Planner System, or similar frameworks that support CPD is highly valued. Executive Presence & Governance Acumen: Proven ability to work within and in support of institutional governance structures – bringing the right information to the right decision-makers at the right time. Comfortable engaging C-suite and board-level stakeholders with clear, concise reporting on project progress, budget performance, and risk. Skilled at navigating AHJs and utility providers while maintaining alignment with organizational priorities. Hands-On Technical Leadership: Despite the senior title, this role requires genuine willingness to be embedded on the jobsite – providing direct quality assurance, safety oversight, and technical guidance alongside the construction manager and project team. The Project Director leads through expertise and presence, not delegation alone. Education: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Construction Management, Architecture, or Engineering is preferred. Candidates without a degree who possess substantial and directly relevant experience in large-scale California hospital construction will be considered. Professional licensure (PE, AIA) or CCM/PMP certification is highly desirable. Professional licensure or certification: Professional licensure (PE, AIA) or CCM/PMP certification is highly desirable. Technical Skills & Tools Project Management Platform: Proficiency in Trimble Unity Construct (formerly e-Builder) is strongly preferred as the primary platform for project management, cost control, document management, and reporting. Experience with comparable owner-side PMIS platforms will be considered. Software & Digital Tools: Proficiency required in Bluebeam Revu (plan review and markups), Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook), Microsoft PowerPoint (executive presentation preparation), and Microsoft Teams (collaboration and meetings). Working knowledge of AI productivity tools is expected, with a willingness to adopt emerging technologies that improve project delivery and reporting efficiency. Experience with additional construction management or scheduling software is a plus.
