Job Opportunity: Clinic Transition Representative — Clinic Activation & Transition Planner
Location: Rhine Ordnance Barracks Medical Center project, Weilerbach / Kaiserslautern Military Community, Germany — with coordination at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and Ramstein Air Base
Start Date: January 2027
Schedule: Full-time
Make a Difference Behind the Mission
Do you know what it takes to open a new hospital safely — and keep 1st Patient Care Day on schedule?
French Consulting is seeking a Clinic Transition Representative (clinic activation and transition planner) to help move healthcare services from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the 86th Medical Group Ambulatory Clinic into the new Rhine Ordnance Barracks Medical Center — the $1.8 billion replacement hospital for the Kaiserslautern Military Community. You will advise the gaining clinical units and the government project team as they prepare to start safe, accreditable healthcare in the new facility.
What You’ll Do
Clinic Transition Planning
- Provide clinical and technical planning, expertise, coordination, and advice while healthcare services transition to the new facility — developing and maintaining the transition timeline and monitoring task progress with all project participants.
- Coordinate and facilitate the work needed to define, refine, finalize, and document each department’s clinical Concept of Operations (CONOPS).
- Assist the gaining units in evaluating future-state conditions against current Department of Defense (DoD) and Defense Health Agency (DHA) criteria, focusing on clinical practice changes rather than building or equipment changes.
- Assist and advise the gaining units — Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the 86th Medical Group — and the government project office in preparing for the startup of safe and accreditable healthcare.
- Coordinate with the gaining unit space planner to resolve space issues arising from organization and mission changes, and support Memorandums of Understanding and Agreement between co-dependent departments.
- Review and help develop “Day in the Life” exercises and dry runs of clinical processes, and coordinate observers and evaluators.
- Help develop, coordinate, and maintain the Patient Move Plan; coordinate medical equipment training and acceptance; and support proper disposition of non-reuse property.
- Assist the gaining units in responding to Requests for Information and in reviewing clinical transition deliverables, including pre-move deliverables and Site Investigation Reports.
- Conduct clinical transition site investigations at the new medical treatment facility with the gaining units.
- Assist in reviewing reuse furniture, fixtures, and equipment against field conditions to avoid late-breaking modifications to the built environment.
- Review clinical transition closeout and equipment warranty submittals, and aid development of DHA clinical transition policy, procedures, standards, tools, and templates.
- You have activated healthcare facilities before and know where transitions break down.
- You communicate clearly with clinicians, planners, engineers, and military leadership alike.
- You keep dozens of transition tasks moving against a fixed 1st Patient Care Day schedule — and you want your work to matter to the military families this hospital will serve.
- Education (required): a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing OR another clinical/technical field (e.g., healthcare administration, biomedical sciences, clinical laboratory science, allied health, or a comparable technical discipline). An active RN license is NOT required — the contract accepts either path. You must also be a U.S. citizen and have demonstrated familiarity with U.S. healthcare accreditation and nursing practice standards.
- You have a minimum of five (5) years’ demonstrated experience in healthcare and laboratory research facility activations and ongoing operations following a major renovation or new-facility move in an accredited healthcare facility.
- You have a minimum of five (5) years’ demonstrated experience defining and communicating clinical transition requirements, constraints, and objectives across the project life cycle, including reading and reviewing clinical transition documents and submittals.
- You have a minimum of five (5) years’ demonstrated experience developing and reviewing clinical transition requirements — Concept of Operations and clinical Standard Operating Procedure development, standard-of-practice evaluation, and equipping and outfitting deliverables.
- You have demonstrated experience with U.S. accreditation and nursing practices, and can obtain installation access and a Common Access Card (favorable background check required).
- Preferred: a Master’s degree in advanced nursing, a clinical/technical field, or health administration; experience reading design and construction documents; DoD military medical project execution; Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS)/LogiCole; Authority to Operate documentation for medical equipment; Microsoft Office Suite.
- 💻 A once-in-a-career project — help open the newest U.S. military medical center in Europe.
- 🌍 A mission you can believe in: safe, accreditable healthcare for U.S. military families from day one.
- 🤝 A supportive, collaborative team that values your clinical judgment and input.
If you’re ready to make a real difference in the lives of military families while supporting the U.S. broader military community, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and bring your expertise, compassion, and dedication to a team that values your contribution.
