Job Description

The Project Manager is responsible for planning the project in order to accomplish its objectives within constraints such as time, cost and agreed quality standards.

The Project Manager should identify, log, analyse and manage potential and actual issues and risks, taking corrective action by tackling day-to-day issues head on and reviewing how more serious issues and risks might impact on scope, schedule, quality and cost.

The Project Manager should identify where and when management of issues and risks or accommodating altered requirements will involve extra time or extra resources and where efficiencies can be made.

The Project Manager should communicate all plans, deviations and potential areas of concern to his reporting authority and RO Central Planning Department on a pre emptive manner.

The Project Manager should be able to articulate and negotiate consensus on a final vision of the product and/or the core project goals from scoping the requirements of all stakeholders, not forgetting the end-user.
