Job Description Summary
As an LSS Project Leader Co-op at GE HealthCare, you will practice structured, critical thinking to quickly understand problem statements, clarify desired outcomes, and synthesize actionable next steps. You will enable execution across disciplines – Product Management, Program Management, Engineering, Operations, Sourcing, Fulfillment, Regulatory, and Supplier Quality – by translating ambiguity into clear plans, risks, and decisions.
You’ll work on a variety of assignments within the Patient Care Solution - Life Sustaining Solutions (LSS) business segment that build capability in project planning, budget awareness, resource coordination, and risk management – all while ensuring scope, quality, cost, and timing goals are met.
What you'd do
- Quickly decompose ambiguous problem statements into clear problem definitions, success criteria, and deliverables.
- Synthesize next steps into lightweight, right‑sized project plans (e.g., milestones, owners, dependencies) and keep them current as facts change.
- Define measurable outcomes/leading indicators; track progress and use data to inform decisions and trade‑offs.
- Apply structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 5-Whys) to identify root causes and recommend pragmatic solutions.
- Support the Program Manager to orchestrate multiple projects within a product line across LSS and partner teams.
- Proactively manage cross-functional execution to remove blockers, clarify ownership, and avoid gaps/delays.
- Maintain a risk/issue/decision log; anticipate integration issues and propose options with pros/cons and impacts on scope, cost, and schedule.
- Facilitate crisp status communication tailored to audiences (team, leadership, suppliers), highlighting decisions needed, risks, and next steps.
- Partner with business and technical leaders to clarify requirements, align goals, and validate acceptance criteria.
- Prepare concise briefings (slides, one-pagers) that capture problem context, options considered, selected approach, and results.
What they want
- Full-time student pursuing a degree in Engineering or Business.
- Demonstrated strong academic performance through relevant coursework, projects, research, leadership experiences, or other academic achievements.
- Evidence of structured thinking: experience writing problem statements, defining goals/metrics, and outlining plans with owners and timelines.
- Leadership experience in projects, teams, clubs, or community – showing ownership, collaboration, and follow-through.
- Demonstrated initiative and results orientation; comfortable taking the first cut at plans, risks, and options for review.
- Excellent analytical and communication skills – able to translate technical/operational details into clear, simple narratives and plans.
- Able to work a minimum of 28 weeks (full-time, 40 hours/week).
- Strong academic performance, with a preferred GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
- Prior internship or co‑op in design engineering, business, law, manufacturing, or operations.
- Exposure to project budgeting or basic analytics (e.g., Excel/Sheets, dashboards).
