Our Purpose: Queensland's hospital system is facing greater demand and pressure than ever before. This is driven by our growing and ageing population, and compounded by pressures on primary, aged and disability care. To help address this, Health Infrastructure Queensland (HIQ), in partnership with Hospital and Health Services (HHS), is leading the biggest hospital expansion program Queensland has ever seen. The program includes building three new hospitals, expanding 11, upgrading rural and regional health facilities and delivering thousands of new hospital beds in the next five years. In addition, the intent is for this to be the first tranche of a 15-year program of infrastructure investments. Working in HIQ, you will forge a new sustainable delivery model and contribute to the delivery of projects that ultimately improve the health and wellbeing of Queenslanders - what could be more rewarding than that? Benefits for Joining HIQ: Attractive and competitive salary, generous employer superannuation contributions and leave loading. Permanent opportunity available offering great job security. Flexible working arrangements along with a supportive and friendly work environment. Corporate discounts and employee wellness programs. Countless opportunities to learn and ongoing professional development. Committed to providing a diverse and inclusive workplace for all employees. You will contribute to making a difference in the lives of Queenslanders. Key Responsibilities: Provide timely and accurate technical advice to Senior Project Directors, Project Directors, Project Officers and Staff to help drive quality procurement and contract outcomes for infrastructure projects. Lead and manage the procurement services team within Health Infrastructure Queensland to deliver high quality procurement support to infrastructure projects and the broader health system. Provide advanced knowledge of procurement in the context of health infrastructure projects, particularly with respect to Australian Standard (AS) contracts, consultants, contractors, including applicable legislation and policies. Provide strategic procurement advice as required to Senior Director, Procurement and Contracts and other executive staff within the Branch, Queensland Health and external central agencies and represent Queensland Health with external agencies. Identify and review procurement processes and provide strategic advice on policy improvement initiatives. Develop, coordinate and review written complex communication on a wide range of subjects, including confidential and sensitive matters (e.g. ministerial briefs, questions on notice, parliamentary briefs, and cabinet submissions). Provide leadership to support workloads across the team and contribute to workforce planning and resource management, in conjunction with Senior Director, Procurement and Contracts (or higher/equivalent delegate) to make sure the function continues to deliver high-quality and timely procurement outcomes.
