We are providing an exciting opportunity to those who want to work within the IT industry. As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for day to day management of a project, ultimately determining the project's success.
The Job.
Reporting to the UK Professional Services Manager, you will be working closely with the Project Implementer in order to deliver our client's solution with acceptable quality, within agreed time and cost tolerances. Your role will require you to demonstrate awareness of cost and efficiency drivers as well as commercial influences throughout the project life cycle and adapt practices accordingly.
This role will also require you to work with and align yourself with the client's plan which should include all activities required to deliver their solution.
As a project manager, you will need to identify and control:
- the time required to deliver the project
- cost of delivery
- resources required
- quality of delivery
- all dependencies on the project
- any identified actions, issues and risks
The role will also require some overseas and UK travel, so you will need to have a UK driving licence and be willing to stay away from home when required. Our client is based in Derby and the role is office based (when not on customer sites) - commutable from Nottingham, Burton on Trent, Leicester, Loughborough, Lichfield and other parts of the Midlands.
Our client offers a great career path and a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Interested?
