Job Overview
What you’ll do • Own end-to-end delivery of the physical “research spa” experience: site selection/fit-out, construction, facilities, and readiness for scanner operations.
• Translate product + clinical/operational requirements into a build plan: schedule, budget, procurement, dependencies, and risk register.
• Lead vendors and partners (GCs, architects, MEP, specialty trades, inspectors), and run weekly coordination with clear milestones and accountability.
• Manage facilities systems critical to the scanner experience (power, cooling, water, acoustics, shielding, safety interlocks, accessibility) and ensure they meet reliability and serviceability needs.
• Build repeatable playbooks for multi-site rollout (globalization): standard layouts, bills of materials, commissioning checklists, and acceptance criteria.
• Own commissioning and handoff: operational procedures, maintenance plans, spare parts, training, and incident response / escalation paths.
What we’re looking for • Proven project/program management experience delivering complex facilities or construction projects end-to-end (labs, clinics, robotics, high-end hospitality, or similar).
• Strong vendor management and cross-functional leadership; can drive decisions across design, engineering, operations, and compliance.
• Comfort with MEP coordination and the practical realities of building/commissioning (permits, inspections, change orders, punch lists).
• High attention to detail, strong written communication, and an instinct for de-risking critical path items early.
Useful experience • Experience scaling physical locations (multi-site rollouts) with standardization, cost control, and local adaptation.
• Exposure to regulated environments (medical devices/clinical operations) and safety programs (EHS, accessibility, privacy/PHI considerations).
• Background in high-touch hospitality or experiential spaces where user experience and operational throughput both matter.
