The purpose of the Capital Program Planner-Civil Engineering Systems is to promote the integrity (safety, clinical operational and cost effectiveness, and energy efficiency in coordination) with the Director Maintenance & Operations team and related programs by others, of NSH building civil engineering infrastructure. This purpose is achieved through Provincial-level strategic:

• Alignment of all planning efforts with the NSH Health Services plans and associated departmental medium and long-term health care strategic objectives.
• Planning, development, and coordination of the three NSH Capital Programs:
• Repair & Renewal (R&R) Capital Program,
• Capital Medical Equipment (CME) Capital Program
• Clinical Capital (CC) Capital Program.
• Coordination among peers and management as they concurrently contribute to the planning and implementation of the three NSH Capital Programs.
• Contributing to the preliminary assessment of requirements for Major Capital program projects (projects generally ranging $1.0M to $50.0M in value and not directly covered in DHW managed Redevelopment programs) submitted up through NSH leadership for consideration by DHW.
• Coordination with Major Capital Program initiatives of other Departments in their support of NSH (such as Redevelopment programs)

This purpose, in full alignment with the above, is executed by:

• Assessing the condition of NSH’s civil engineering infrastructure.
• Ensuring that industry best practice and condition assessment protocols are performed and recorded.
• Coordinating with applicable Clinical stakeholders to determine requirements and priorities.
• Investigating requirements of peers and other FMS groups (principally Director of Maintenance and Operations, and Director of Clinical Engineering).
• Generating planning recommendations as to where and what to invest in existing and new assets, and when to dispose of old, unsafe, and/or obsolete assets
