Role

The Project Manager plays a key role within our organisation, directly influencing business performance - supporting business strategy and objectives, diligently managing projects to optimise profitably and client satisfaction. A Project Manager's principal purpose is:

To take accountability for the successful delivery of projects, by leading and driving the project delivery:

* Leading and managing project teams:

* Ensuring that effective project controls are established and maintained for all projects within their span of control;

* Keeping the project team aware of the long-term objectives and focused upon the near-term deliverables;

* Setting and communicating clear goals and establishing priorities in line with contracted outcomes and project success criteria.

* Effectively engaging the Project Owner, client, subcontractors, third parties and project stakeholders throughout the duration of each project, developing positive, enduring relationships (at the 'working' level); and

* Ensuring that a clear and objective assessment of project performance is regularly, clearly and accurately reported, identifying, escalating and resolving conflicts wherever they arise.

By successful delivery we mean as a minimum that the project has:

* Been delivered in full, and gained unequivocal client acceptance of, the contracted scope;

* Been completed within the contracted timescales and having achieved the key milestones that have been contracted, or otherwise agreed with the client and stakeholders;

* Optimised both project profitability and client satisfaction through effectively identifying, managing and mitigating risks that threaten or adversely impact the successful delivery of the project;

* Met or exceeded the contracted quality thresholds; and

* Been completed within the baselined cost budget and met or exceed margin expectations.

* The measurement of these criteria at project completion will take in to account changes to timescales and budget (for example) where Change Controls have been agreed and contracted.
