• Risk and opportunity management, security and trade controls, configuration and change management for the project.
• Ensuring that the contract remains up to date and consistent with the project goals and business objectives.

• External to the business, the Project Manager is responsible to the customer for the success of the economic and technical planning, implementation, delivery and completion of a project.
• The Project Manager represents the project on behalf of the business to the customer, external partners, suppliers and other stakeholders.
• The Project Manager sets and supervises the corresponding goals and targets for the project team, work package providers and suppliers, and initiates measures to reach those goals.
