Project Manager currently leading a $500M capital project at VCH — now available as an independent advisor for anyone who needs expert project management guidance in healthcare construction.
I'm Pedram Poshtiban — a Project Manager at Vancouver Coastal Health and the founder of POSH Project Advisory. I've worked on all three sides of the construction industry, giving me a rare 360° perspective that most advisors simply don't have.
On the contractor side, I managed full project lifecycles— estimating, procurement, scheduling, and contract management. On the consultant side, I worked as a design and build engineer for hospitals, commercial buildings, and infrastructure across three countries. And on the owner's side, I now lead one of Canada's largest healthcare capital projects at VCH.
That breadth means I know how contractors price work, how consultants design it, and what owners actually need — all at once.
"I understand how contractors think, how consultants work, and what owners need — and I use all three perspectives to protect your project."
Each engagement is scoped to your exact needs — from a targeted review to ongoing project controls support. Available hourly, fixed-fee, or retainer.
Hands-on support for schedule development, cost tracking, risk registers, and change management — the core controls that keep any capital project on track.
Rigorous early-stage analysis to determine if your project is viable — and to build the case for funding, approvals, or board sign-off before you commit capital.
Expert help developing procurement strategies and RFP packages that attract the right contractors and consultants — and protect you through the selection process.
I work with owners, consultants, construction companies, and project management firms — anyone who needs experienced, independent PM expertise on a flexible basis.
Hospitals, health authorities, and private operators with capital projects who need independent PM or advisory support.
General contractors and specialty contractors needing support with scheduling, cost control, or project reporting on complex projects.
Design firms looking for a PM specialist to support project delivery, client coordination, or construction phase management.
PM companies that need additional capacity or specialist healthcare experience on a contract or sub-consultant basis.
Real estate developers or investors entering the healthcare or life sciences space who need an experienced PM to protect their investment.
Health-focused non-profits, First Nations health authorities, and municipalities delivering community health infrastructure.
Getting independent PM support shouldn't be complicated. Here's how a typical engagement begins.
30 minutes — we discuss your project, your challenges, and whether my expertise is the right fit. No commitment, no pressure.
I prepare a clear proposal — scope, deliverables, timeline, and fee. Hourly, fixed-fee, or retainer based on your needs.
Regular updates, clear documentation, and direct access to me throughout. No hand-offs — you work with me directly.
Tell me about your project — I'll respond within one business day.
Available for engagements worldwide on a flexible, part-time advisory basis.
