About the Role:
The Project Officer for Sterilising Services is responsible for leading the planning, coordination, and delivery of a defined portfolio of complex strategic and operational projects that support the enhancement, expansion, and optimisation of Sterilising Services across Canberra Health Services.
Operating with a high degree of autonomy, the position provides specialist advice and project leadership across infrastructure, equipment, digital systems, and service redesign initiatives. The role is accountable for delivering project outcomes within agreed timeframes, budgets, and governance frameworks, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislative, regulatory, and organisational requirements.
The Project Officer will lead project planning, procurement activities, stakeholder engagement, risk management, and the implementation and evaluation of sterilising services projects. This includes initiatives involving facility refurbishment, the implementation of specialised reprocessing technologies, optimisation of instrument tracking systems, and service expansion.
The position requires extensive knowledge of sterilising services, including the reprocessing of reusable medical devices (RMDs), sterilisation technologies, workflow design, and relevant standards such as AS/NZS 4187. This specialist expertise is applied to inform project design, support decision-making, and ensure that project outcomes align with clinical, operational, and compliance requirements.
Working collaboratively with clinical services, engineering, ICT, procurement, contractors, and external providers, the Project Officer facilitates the successful delivery of projects within complex healthcare environments, maintaining a focus on safety, quality, service continuity, and future service capability.
The position does not have direct line management responsibility but may provide project leadership, coordination, and guidance to multidisciplinary project teams and stakeholders.
