Rush salaries are determined by many factors including, but not limited to, education, job-related experience and skills, as well as internal equity and industry specific market data. The pay range for each role reflects Rush's anticipated wage or salary reasonably expected to be offered for the position. Offers may vary depending on the circumstances of each case.

Summary:

Rush University Medical Center is seeking a strategic and technically skilled Capital Program Manager to support enterprise-wide capital infrastructure planning. Reporting to the Director of Facilities Management, this role is responsible for developing and maintaining the long-range capital program, aligning priorities with institutional goals, and supporting risk mitigation through data-driven planning.

This is a decision-making position that plays a critical role in advancing capital planning while insulating the Director from day-to-day technical and funding decisions. The Capital Program Manager takes ownership of capital submission development, technical review, project prioritization, and coordination with internal stakeholders-empowering the Director to focus on long-term strategy and leadership alignment.

Key responsibilities include maintaining accurate facility condition assessments (FCAs), preparing business case analyses for capital submissions, and coordinating the capital planning cycle. The role is also responsible for using facility and asset data to help reduce the risk of failure due to deferred maintenance.

While this position is not responsible for project execution (led by Planning, Design & Construction), understanding construction timing and interdependencies is critical to successful alignment and planning. The ideal candidate brings a strong engineering background, operational awareness, and familiarity with capital portfolio tools and practices.

Other information:

-- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, or related technical discipline or demonstrated equivalent experience.

Minimum 5-7 years of experience in capital planning, facility engineering, or related roles in complex institutions.

Strong analytical and business planning skills, including lifecycle cost analysis and capital budgeting.

Familiarity with infrastructure systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.) and maintenance strategies.

Understanding of project management concepts, including scheduling and phasing, though this is not a project manager role.

Proficient in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and capital planning systems (e.g., VFA, Asset Planner).

Preferred Job Qualifications:

Professional Engineer (PE) license or advanced technical degree.

Experience in healthcare or academic medical centers.

Exposure to AI tools, predictive modeling, or capital portfolio analytics.

Knowledge of energy management systems, sustainability practices, or building automation technologies.

Responsibilities:

Develop and manage the overall capital program, aligning investment priorities with operational goals and institutional strategies.

Use data and condition assessments to support risk mitigation planning and address deferred maintenance across campus facilities.

Maintain and regularly update FCAs to reflect asset health and inform capital prioritization models.

Prepare capital project submissions, including scope, justification, budget, and alignment with strategic or compliance drivers.

Build and present business cases incorporating lifecycle cost, ROI/payback, risk, energy efficiency, and regulatory requirements.

Collaborate with Planning, Design & Construction to align planning inputs with project timelines, phasing, and execution sequencing.

Support operational readiness of capital projects, including integration with clinical operations, turnover requirements, and system startup planning.

Help maintain and enforce infrastructure standards to ensure consistency and quality across capital and renewal projects.

Incorporate facility data, energy management system inputs, and automation trends into capital forecasts and dashboards.

Create summary reports and visualizations for executive review and governance committees.

Stay informed on healthcare facilities best practices, emerging technologies, and capital risk frameworks.

Serve as the primary technical and financial decision-maker for capital planning efforts, enabling the Director to focus on executive-level strategy.

Rush is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, and other legally protected characteristics.
