Overview

We are seeking an accomplished Director of Clinical Engineering to lead healthcare technology management (HTM) operations at a large hospital system in Zanesville, OH.

• Oversee the full scope of the clinical engineering program across the hospital system
• Lead and mentor supervisors and technical staff, ensuring compliance and performance excellence
• Manage the maintenance, repair, and calibration of diverse medical equipment

• Partner with hospital leadership and clinical staff to align HTM with patient care priorities
• Manage budgets, vendor relationships, and contracts to support operational and financial performance
• Ensure compliance with CIHQ, DNV, Joint Commission (JCAHO), and other healthcare regulatory standards
• Develop staff through training, performance management, and succession planning
• Lead special projects, capital planning, and client relationship initiatives

Must Have

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
• 5+ years of experience managing biomedical services in a large healthcare system
• Proven leadership experience with cross-functional teams, including supervisors and technical professionals
• Strong knowledge of healthcare regulatory standards (CIHQ, DNV, Joint Commission)
• Experience collaborating with executive leadership and C-suite stakeholders
• Demonstrated success in budget management and vendor negotiations
• Excellent critical thinking, conflict resolution, and decision-making skills

Preferred

• Experience leading capital projects and process improvement initiatives
