MVOP IMIT Project Manager in Vancouver

Contract opportunity leading technology readiness, vendor coordination and operational transition for a new administrative facility supporting a British Columbia healthcare organization. Expected initial term of seven months, with possible extensions. Hybrid work in Metro Vancouver, with regular office and project-site attendance.

Our client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to coordinate the technology work needed to prepare a new office facility for occupancy. You will bring together infrastructure, workplace technology, facilities, vendors and operational teams to ensure that technology services are ready, validated and supported when the facility opens. Your work will continue through move planning, cutover, post-occupancy stabilization and handover to support teams.

You will work as an integrated member of the project team, collaborating with internal technology stakeholders, facilities and workplace services, business representatives, consultants, vendors and service providers. The technology scope includes networking, telecommunications, audiovisual systems, printing, end-user computing and the processes needed to support these services.

You have managed projects where technology delivery depended on facilities schedules, vendor commitments and a defined operational deadline. You can establish practical controls, maintain an integrated schedule, identify risks early and turn readiness discussions into clear evidence, decisions and actions. You communicate effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders and leadership, and bring a respectful, culturally safe approach to collaboration.
